Hair falls in front of the lens and sticks to it.
Smooth, neutral-looking, simply perfect, that‘s how devices should be.
Our greasy, swelling, ageing, flaking bodies can‘t keep up.
So few points of contact, so much touch.
We are constantly stroking and caressing our mobile phones, which are antagonists and protagonists at the same time.
Sebum oozes out of our pores, mucus drips from our noses,
an oily film covers our hair, the corneal layer pushes forwards and breaks.
Dry skin trickles onto technology.
