Hooked on a blue sky

Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's

Is the day we've waited for

                                 Yann Novak, Blue Hour, Audio Visual Installation,2011-2012,

Blue.Hour explores the high contrast colors created in the landscape during “l’heure bleue,” the period of twilight each evening when there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. Directly following the ‘Golden Hour,’ know for its diffused yet powerful light, the Blue Hour retains the diffusion but lacks the strong light source giving this period of the day an especially melancholic and meditative atmosphere.
