Todd Hido — #4124-c
Todd Hido

#4124-c

2005

A lone residential facade glows against a fog-drenched California night in Todd Hido's #4124-c, a 2005 pigment print that channels the eerie poetry of the Bay Area suburbs into a single, haunting frame. Part of his celebrated "House Hunting" series, which Hido began in 1996 while driving through the outskirts of San Francisco after dark, the image deploys long exposure and saturated color to transform an ordinary tract home into something unsettling and luminous at once. The surrounding fog diffuses the artificial light in ways that feel less documentary than dreamlike, as though the scene has been partially recalled rather than directly observed. Hido has spoken of drawing on memory and imagination throughout his practice, and that psychological undertow is palpable here. Measuring 38.1 by 48.3 centimeters and editioned to just 25 prints, #4124-c is a fine example of the intimate scale Hido favors, asking the viewer to move close and sit with the image rather than be overwhelmed by it. The cinematic sensibility for which he is well-known permeates the composition, evoking the tension of a film still without resolving into narrative. Each print in this edition is signed by the artist, and the work arrives without framing, giving collectors the latitude to present it according to their own vision. Aperture, the publisher behind Hido's comprehensive 2016 monograph "Intimate Distance: Twenty-Five Years of Photographs, A Chronological Album," offers this print as part of a considered limited release aligned with the institution's long commitment to serious photographic work.
