WinterWale – Fotografien von Audun Rikardsen
In the organizer's words:
At the height of the Nordic winter, when the sun appears only briefly on the horizon, an incomparable natural spectacle takes place in the fjords of northern Norway:
Millions of herring migrate in huge shoals into the shallow coastal waters to spawn. Attracted by this immense food supply, flocks of predatory fish and seagulls, sea eagles, seals and whales gather in the fjords.
Norwegian Audun Rikardsen, professor of freshwater and marine biology and multi-award-winning nature photographer, has captured the behavior and archaic beauty of these giants of the sea in unique images. The passionate diver and environmentalist also succeeded in photographing previously unseen scenes of the conflict of interest between local fishermen and hunting whales competing for the silver of the sea, the herring.
The exhibition also reflects Audun Rikardsen's great skill and versatile talents: a profound knowledge of his subjects, a keen sense of aesthetics and special technical skills. He has developed a special camera system including an underwater housing and flash in order to be able to photograph the processes above and under water at the same time.
