BLACK SUN by Søren Solkær

Black Sun​ is a project by Danish photographer Søren Solkær capturing one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena; the large murmurations of starlings. As the countless birds congregate in large murmurations before collectively settling in the reeds at dusk, they put on an incredible show of collaboration and performance skills twice a year when they migrate from one destination to the next. Growing up in Southern Denmark, where this breathtaking scenery unfolds, Søren always had a fascination for the starlings that naturally lead to the start of this project.

Søren lives and works in Denmark. Born in 1969, he graduated from a B.A at FAMU Photo and Film Academy in Prague in 1995 and from Aarhus University in 1993. His work “Black Sun” has gained recognition from the New York Times and many other publications. He has also exhibited his work at important museums worldwide and his works are part of important collections.
