There is a moment in the day when the Delta seems to pause: the night has not fully withdrawn and the day has not yet begun. It is the brief twilight interval known as the “blue hour”, when the light becomes diffuse, colours fade and the landscape seems to breathe differently.
This is the starting point of “L’hora blava“, the project that Valencian visual artist Miguel Alejos will develop during his Eufònic / Lo Pati 2026 artistic residency. During his stay at Baladre, he will focus on the light and sounds of the Delta de l’Ebre at this fragile moment of the day, creating a videographic archive that will later unfold as a two-channel audiovisual installation.
Moving between long-duration panoramic shots and closer, more subjective recordings, the piece proposes an experience in which the landscape —its rhythms and forms— gradually shapes a possible narrative. A way of inhabiting the Delta de l’Ebre from this in-between space —neither day nor night— and of listening to it with a different kind of attention.
Miguel Alejos
Miguel Alejos (València, 1995) works at the intersection of image, installation and archive, exploring the relationships between landscape, architecture and perception. His practice takes the form of video, publication or object depending on the needs of each process, always grounded in a direct relationship with the territory and with the images that emerge from it.
