Hello Joe was covertly produced overnight in a series of rented Airbnb accommodations. It is constructed entirely from elements found and filmed within a number of private homes that were accessed through the online service. Furnishings, ornaments and extracts from various personal book, CD and DVD collections act as a singular workable archive. The resulting film is comprised of a series of vignettes that examine the objects and media that we intimately live with and the ideologies that they preserve. Domestic spaces are merged together in this portrait of an emerging corporate territory within the declining value of privacy.

Graham Kelly is an artist, filmmaker and writer. His practice is situated in the interface between contemporary forms of image, the physical body and environment. By considering this interaction as an engulfing and continuous state or effect, his work seeks to expose and dissect power structures that are cast, distorted or enforced within it. His works have been screened and exhibited in a number of international contexts that include: Recontres Internationales, Kino der Kunst, Lo schermo dell’arte, EYE Filmmuseum, TENT, Transmission, Intermedia, Generator Projects and The Moscow Biennale for Young Art. He was a resident at the Jan van Eyck Academy in 2015/16.
