"How long investigates the various divisions created by walls. Clothing, rooms, homes, yards, cities, states, are all layers of separation, borders - whether physical or psychological - that divide in from out. How long combines video and performance to explore the duality of walls both as shields and confinement spaces.

Borders define ownership and territory, a reduced space within which one can move. We are all born into predefined borders that place us on one side or another, borders with diverse natures of dynamism, visibility and physicality, borders that some of us want to cross, but cannot, physically and mentally.

How long simulates those borders but instead of static solid block walls it present a dynamic wall that close or opens, blocks or expose, layered with movement. "
