A woman is stuck in a time loop. Every time she dies in a slapstick accident in everyday life, she is sent back to the beginning. As she tries to escape from the limbo, several alternate presents unfold, fed by small changes in the past. How does one build a livable present? How to return to normalcy when it's completely unclear what normal is and for whom? Where can you look for livable world designs - and what would you do if you could change past and future?
How Long Is Now meditates on isolation, ingrained thought patterns and breaking with them, swaying along the well-worn paths of time travel plots, and whether you hurt eternity by killing time. Video game-like saving points, resurrections, flashbacks, hangovers, lags, and the return of undead problems color our interactions with the unevenly distributed hyperobject of the pandemic.
