Part of its KST Global Stream Digital Commissions Program, Kelly Strayhorn Theater presents How far? How long? a new video work by Tsohil Bhatia.

How far? How long? is a quasi scientific video calculation and abstraction of distance. Taking units of measurement, a camera and a clock as points of departure, the work proposes the difficulty ofthe collapse of physical space into numeric values and interrogates fictional distances and durations between arbitrary positions to produce emotional measurements and tensions caused by a confrontation of the empirical, poetic and theoretical.


How far? How long? was commissioned by Kelly Strayhorn Theater for KST Global Stream and presented City of Asylum’s The Show Must Go On(line) Pittsburgh.

The Show Must Go On(line) Pittsburgh, a project of City of Asylum, is our region’s first shared programming channel. It is a collaborative daily webcast that unites and streams programs created by Pittsburgh’s arts organizations. By bringing these creative forces together, The Show Must Go On(line) provides free access to high quality programs to connect artists and audiences and continue to build community around the arts.
