💡❤️ cleaning your phone 💡❤️
“why does your phone get so greasy, when you clean it all the time?x2
all the fuckin time, with alcohol wipes x2
gotta clean it, again x2
make it clean x2
it’s gonna be, the cleanest it’s ever been… cleanest dream x2
it’s gonna be, the cleanest phone you’ve ever seen x2”
This work is made to be viewed on a phone (which draws our attention to our flesh and phone’s grub in the material realm), although for exhibition display the work should be shown on a phone with alcohol wipes for audience use.

Hiya! ** I’m Geraldine Snell but YOU can call me Geri. My creative endeavours help me to navigate being an overthinking, overloving, oversharing subject in our hyperconnected, oversaturated, dopamine-soaked now. I share the fruits of this in immediate, intimate forms with light & love.
Much like the compact or phone camera I typically use, I start with myself because I’m never without it. From this everyday, autofiction position, I dabble with a range of tools to capture sublime and mundane moments and insights. Sometimes these live on in writing and video; often they are reactivated through musical performance. These processes make Mind Bile manageable: this is a journey of critical self-optimisation and attention conditioning, and YOU are invited.
In addition to exhibition and screening contexts, I embrace digital and social media because they are best placed to house antidotes to the conditions of oversaturation and alienation they can induce. Whether it’s human eyes blinking through an emoji, the grubby phone that draws attention to your own sticky screen, or YouTube tutorials that offer more rumination than instruction, I interrupt image streams and social media zing with intimate works that offer a slow, haptic counterpoint to the speed and slickness around them.
