"Out of the Blue is a characteristically thought-provoking and contemplative work constructed from seemingly disparate elements: imagery recorded from the window of a plane during her trans-Atlantic travels, diary-like footage (including haunting images of the twin beams of light that illuminate the night sky in NYC each year to mark the anniversary of 9/11), onscreen texts, and found imagery and sound. The result is a highly personal, open-ended meditation on the passage of time, historical trauma, and liminal physical and emotional spaces that embodies Fisher's radically multilayered approach: juxtaposing multiple layers of visual and aural materials, she not only creates a rich visual experience but also brings into play a
dizzying and cross-pollinating array of ideas."
