Outskirts is the acclaimed second monograph by Todd Hido, serving as the essential companion to his groundbreaking debut, “House Hunting.” This 2021 remastered edition was produced in close collaboration with the artist to achieve a level of tonal nuance and color accuracy that surpasses the long-out-of-print 2002 original. The book features 26 large-format color photographs that continue Hido’s exploration of the American suburbia in the dead of night. His lens captures abandoned houses, desolate streets, and the haunting effects of inclement weather—fog, snow, and rain—that muffle the world into a deathlike silence. These images evoke a profound sense of “strangeness,” turning ordinary residential areas into cinematic scenes of psychological tension and mystery. Each photograph is critical in establishing a mood that is simultaneously lonely, unsettling, and strangely intimate, documenting the cracks in the domestic facade of post-war America.
