Subscription Series Set #2 - Todd Hido, Abner Nolan, Marianne Mueller, Alec Soth

TBW series 2

This "Subscription Series" includes four books and was originally published in 2009.

• Todd Hido, Ohio

Hido revisits adolescence in a way that is haunting and beautifully displayed before us. Using the same camera he made his earliest photos with as a child, the artist seamlessly combines his vintage and contemporary works into a narrative that is uniquely his. In 40 short pages, we are able to move from adolescence to young adulthood.

• Abner Nolan, Away

As an early adopter of the use of found imagery, Nolan continues his investigation of the medium of narrative through photography to build a tone that when coupled with the title leaves us with the exact mood the title suggests. A brilliant use of image, sequence, and abstract narrative.

• Marianne Mueller, Noon

Often using her own body as a way of directing viewers through an intimate time and place, Mueller evokes a static sculptural quality in the human form rarely found in contemporary portraiture. Visually stunning pairings offer viewers glimpse into Mueller's wonderful body of work.

• Alec Soth, Sheep

Soth starts us looking intently at images of sheep that are eerily reminiscent of Flemish oil paintings only to find we have been lured into a bait and switch where the artist quickly reveals we are watching as he recounts his own sleeping disorder.
