Who is Søren Solkær? A Portrait of a Master
Søren Solkær isn’t a name unknown to those in the know. Born in Denmark in 1969, his lens has captured the essence of some of the world’s most iconic figures – Björk, Paul McCartney, Amy Winehouse, Patti Smith, Pharrell Williams, Samuel L. Jackson, and David Lynch, to name a few. His journey began with studies in Nordic literature before pivoting to photography and cinema at FAMU in Prague, a foundation that clearly informs his cinematic approach to light and movement. Solkær’s work isn’t simply about taking pictures; it’s about storytelling, intimacy, and capturing a narrative tension that resonates with viewers. His images have graced international museums and galleries and are compiled in five published volumes.
The ‘Black Sun’ Project: Art, Nature, and Myth Collide
But it’s the ‘Black Sun’ project that’s currently captivating the art world. This isn’t a traditional landscape series. It’s a breathtaking exploration of a natural phenomenon – the spectacular murmurations of starlings – transformed into a poetic and powerful visual story. Solkær’s images capture the choreography of these swirling flocks, blending art, nature, and myth into a single, unforgettable experience. The project demonstrates a remarkable ability to find beauty and meaning in the ephemeral, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all things. It’s a project that demands to be seen in person, and Mogoro is the lucky location.
