Hypnotic visions of starling migration patterns across EuropeWith his project Black Sun, Danish photographer Søren Solkær (born 1969) captures the large murmurations of starlings that take place by the Wadden Sea near his native home of southern Denmark. Following their routes has led him on years-long journeys to Italy, the Netherlands, England and Catalonia. Inspired by classical landscape painting, calligraphy and Japanese woodcuts, Solkær presents a series of graphic images featuring landscape and great flocks of starlings, performing an unrivaled display of collaboration and performance skills. These mesmerizing murmurations create a strong visual expression, like an ink drawing or a calligraphic brushstroke asserting itself against the sky. The first edition of Black Sun received global acclaim with features in National Geographic, the Observer and the New York Times. Although Solkær is best known for his portraits of celebrities such as Björk, Paul McCartney, Amy Winehouse, Patti Smith and others, these fascinating photographs--packaged in a sumptuous stamped cloth binding--comprise a compelling part of his oeuvre that leaves the viewer in awe at the wonders of nature.

Den internationalt anerkendte danske fotograf Søren Solkær udgiver sin nye kunstfotobog Starling, som er hans niende bogudgivelse. Starling er opfølgeren til Søren Solkærs internationale bestseller Black Sun, som præsenterede Søren’s billeder af fænomenet sort sol. Med Starling fortsætter Søren Solkær sin fotografiske undersøgelse af stærene. Bogen handler om stærenes migration samt den videnskabelige og mytologiske baggrund for sort sol fænomenet. I 3 år har Søren rejst i Sønderjylland og Europa rundt for at forevige dette spektakulære fænomen. Inspireret af kalligrafi og japanske træsnit har Søren skabt en række grafiske billeder af landskabet og de store stæreflokke, der hvert forår og efterår udfører deres sort sol ballet om liv eller død. Bogen er stofindbundet med præg – designet af den prisvindende designer Rasmus Koch og trykt på 3 forskellige papirkvaliteter hos Narayana Press.
