Geraldine Snell's Dancing is a home video playfully capturing a moment of sublime sunlight shining onto a flaking living room wall. One fixed shot documents the shadows of a door being abruptly opened, the artist's hand dancing in the stream of the sunlight cast upon the wall, her figure moving across the frame, and the door being closed again. Made at the start of the Covid-19 lockdown in the UK, it became the first in a series of works titled Light & Love, focused on careful observation of immediate and ephemeral phenomena.
