The other result of having ‘super-size gatefolds,’ he says, is that ‘viewers have to sit their asses down and get off of their phones to look through each page.’ This is a book created as the result of considerable time and thought. Of note are the four gatefolds of Excerpts from Silver Meadows, ‘intended to further the notion of having to peel back the layers of what can exist inside the pages of a book,’ says Hido. At a point when he kept hearing that the future of publication would be ‘e-books’, and when photography was widely understood as a form of rapid and feathery documentation (‘selfies’), Hido wanted to create a book that ‘could only be a physical, tangible experience.’ And it came together at the ‘perfect moment,’ he says. Todd Hido considers Excerpts from Silver Meadows, published in 2013, the ‘culmination’ of everything he had put into his books prior to this point.
