‘It’s a chicken. It’s a…’ The mindblowing shapes seen in European skies
We’re sorry, this function is presently unavailable. We’re working to revive it. Please strive once more later.
As the solar units in Europe’s autumn, winter and spring, starlings collect within the skies – typically of their lots of of 1000’s – simply earlier than settling in for the evening. Moving as “one unified organism”, as Danish photographer Søren Solkær places it, it may be a freakily fabulous present, “and now and then, with the added drama of attacking birds of prey, the flock will unfold a breathtaking and veritable ballet of life or death”. Solkær has been capturing extraordinary moments from these murmurations – so referred to as for the mushy sound of their beating wings and calls – since 2017. His exhibition, Black Sun, is exhibiting at Nanda/Hobbs in Chippendale, till June 11.
