全100タイトルをもって完結した『ONE PICTURE BOOK』のアップグレード版である本シリーズ『ONE PICTURE BOOK TWO』は、装丁、サイズともにリニューアル。各タイトル500部限定発行、約127x178mm(約5x7インチ)のサイン入りプリントが付属し、前作と同様100タイトルで完結予定。
Published in 2018 to wide critical acclaim, Todd Hido’s Bright Black World explores the dark terrain of the Northern European landscape and regions as far as the North Sea of Japan. Underscoring the influences of Nordic mythology and specifically the idea of Fimbulwinter, which translates into the ‘endless winter’, many of Hido’s new images allude to and provide form for this notion of an apocalyptic, never-ending winter.
An important and already highly sought-after monograph, Bright Black World benefited from its oversized format in presenting the epic landscape photographs of which it is comprised.
Hido’s latest contribution to our One Picture Book series takes this a step further: rather than dividing the sheet into 16 pages, Hido presents one of Bright Black World’s most recognizable images, ‘Untitled #11856-0820’, over an entire form which, when unfolded, measures some 16 x 21 inches.
