HELLO is a photographic daisy-chain linking people with other people they have met in varying circumstances, spanning
a wide geographic, historical and social spectrum. It involves not only the famously famous from all possible arenas; sports, politics and
entertainment, but also, their fans, family, friends, enemies, as well as people they have never met, including my own family and friends
and their further relations. Collectively, these images form an unbroken chain of human encounters where new stories and subtexts emerge
with each new image added to the chain. It is a simple idea, but with all the variables, the complexity expands enormously and the project
easily becomes a lifetime commitment, theoretically encompassing the whole photographed population on Earth. HELLO has been exhibited many times and made new for each location:
