MIA Photo Fair Milan 2026: Todd Hido: "Atmospheric"

We are thrilled to present Atmospheric, a solo exhibition by leading American photographer Todd Hido, opening in conjunction with MIA Photo Fair 2026 at Superstudio Più in Milan before traveling to our gallery in Andorra.

The artist will be present on the opening day, offering visitors a rare opportunity to engage with his work and process in person.

Spanning more than three decades, the exhibition brings together nocturnal suburbs, charged interiors, and weather-swept landscapes that define Hido’s signature, cinematic vision. Recognised as a key figure in contemporary photography, he transforms ordinary houses, roads, and peripheral spaces into emotionally resonant scenes that hover between reality and fiction.

Born in 1968 in Kent, Ohio, and educated at Tufts University, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Rhode Island School of Design, and California College of the Arts, Hido has developed an approach that merges documentary clarity with a distinctly psychological atmosphere.

Influenced by cinema and painting—from Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch to Edward Hopper—he often photographs through car windshields in rain or fog, using light, color, and weather to suggest narratives that remain intriguingly unresolved. His atmospheric imagery has become a key reference point for contemporary cinema and television, shaping the visual language of projects that navigate darkness, desire, and psychological tension, including series such as Euphoria and True Detective: Night Country.

Hido’s photographs are held in major museum collections, including the Guggenheim Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Getty Center, and Fotomuseum Winterthur.

Photobooks are central to his practice, with more than seventeen titles published to date, among them the landmark trilogy House Hunting (2001), Outskirts (2002), and Roaming (2004), as well as Between the Two (2006), Bright Black World (2018), and The End Sends Advance Warning (2024).

His survey volume Intimate Distance (2016) was followed in 2025 by a substantially revised edition, Intimate Distance: Over Thirty Years of Photographs, A Chronological Album, expanding the scope of his practice to new geographies and environmental themes.
