Todd Hido - #2424-a,1999 and #3878,2005 - Two New Risographs

Printed Matter has announced the second [#2424-1, 1999] and third [#3878, 2005] in a series of three fundraising Risograph-print editions by the artist Todd Hido. These two images bookend Hido’s most recent Risograph print, launched by Printed Matter last month that quickly sold out.

#242-a,1999 is an exemplary photograph of Hido’s early days photographing the effects of different light sources on white blankets of snow at night, this time in his hometown of Kent, OH. Exactingly printed by Eva Parra of Calipso Press, each image in the series uses a bespoke Risograph ink set and explores a wide yet subtle range of darkness and texture in the original photograph.

Image #3878,2005 departs from the previous two nighttime snowscapes while maintaining Hido’s study of different effects of artificial light. Hido writes, “Like many best photographs, this one was made entirely by accident. I left a TV on after leaving a motel room, and when I returned after dark, I walked into this scene, lit entirely by the flicker of the television.” The third and final print in this series, #3878 demonstrates the unique ability of the Risograph- printing process to expand upon the subtleties of shadow and darkness.
