The internationally renowned Danish photographer Søren Solkær publishes his new book 'Passage' on 22.11.21. For more than two decades, photography has taken Søren around the world i.f.m. personal art projects and portraits of some of the world's biggest names in music, film and visual arts. As a consequence, airports and aircraft interiors all over the world have provided a familiar backdrop for Søren's working life. Søren has consistently booked the seats in front of or behind the aircraft wing, and photographing the wing and turbine became a regular ritual and a meditative practice associated with travel. The book consists of some of the most memorable moments from his flights. Often semi-abstract images depicting ice crystals, rainbows, huge cloud formations, metallic structures or the sea of ​​light seen at nightly overflights of the world's great metropolises. He has also incorporated his fascination with the graphics and design used in aviation - from the fountain, the graphic markings on the runways to the aerodynamic beauty that characterizes the wings. The images unfold from the etheric and meditative to explosions of light and the extreme forces of nature. The book contains 124 images selected from a material of 50,000 images taken between 2001 and 2016 Den internationalt anerkendte danske fotograf Søren Solkær udgiver sin nye bog 'Passage' den 22.11.21. Igennem mere end to årtier har fotografiet bragt Søren rundt omkring i verden i.f.m. personlige kunstprojekter og portrætter af nogle af verdens største navne indenfor musik, film og billedkunst. Som en konsekvens heraf har alverdens lufthavne og flyinteriører udgjort en velkendt kulisse for Søren's arbejdsliv. Søren har konsekvent booket sæderne foran eller bagved fly-vingen, og det at fotografere vingen og turbinen blev et fast ritual og en meditativ praksis forbundet med rejselivet. Bogen består af nogle af de mest mindeværdige øjeblikke fra hans flyrejser. Ofte halvabstrakte billeder, der afbilder iskrystaller, regnbuer, enorme skyformationer, metalliske konstruktioner eller havet af lys, der ses ved natlige overflyvninger af verdens store metropoler. Han har også indlemmet sin fascination for den grafik og design, der bruges indenfor luftfarten - fra fontene, de grafiske markeringer på landingsbanerne til den aerodynamiske skønhed der præger vingerne. Billederne udfolder sig fra det æteriske og meditative til eksplosioner af lys og naturens ekstreme kræfter. Bogen indeholder 124 billeder valgt ud fra et materiale på 50.000 billeder taget mellem 2001 og 2016
