An expanded chronology charting Todd Hido's career, with ten years of new work.

Well known for his photography of landscapes and suburban housing, and for his use of detail and luminous colour, acclaimed American photographer Todd Hido casts a distinctly cinematic eye across all that he photographs, digging deep into his memory and imagination for inspiration. Newly revised and expanded, Intimate Distance: Over Thirty Years of Photographs, A Chronological Album includes ten years of new work since the book's first publication, featuring breathtaking new images from his travels to Iceland, Norway, and Japan, where he brings both a familiar eye and an expansive new vision.

Though Hido has published many smaller monographs of individual bodies of work, this collection gathers his most iconic images, along with many unpublished works, to provide the most complete and comprehensive monograph charting his career. The book is organised chronologically, demonstrating how his series overlap in exciting ways. David Campany introduces the work and examines the kind of cinematic spectatorship the work demands. Katya Tylevich muses on the making of each of Hido's major monographs, noting, 'The photographs lead as far as human-made roads go. They reach the periphery of utility wires, footprints, and paths already taken.' From exterior to interior, surface observations to subconscious investigations, from landscapes to nudes, from America and beyond, this midcareer collection reveals how his unique focus has developed and shifted over time, yet the tension between distance and intimacy remains.
