Todd Hido on "Excerpts from Silver Meadows"
14/05/13
Photographer Todd Hido talks about his latest body of work, premiering in its entirety for the first time at the Transformer Station and in a new monograph published on the occasion of this show by Nazraeli Press. Inspired by the artist's upbringing in suburban Ohio, film, fiction and current events, "Excerpts From Silver Meadows" weaves dark landscapes, highly charged portraits and appropriated images into a complex narrative. Hido discusses his use of many different cameras and film formats, the importance of understanding his images through their sequencing in his books and how his work lives somewhere between film and literature.
