Nibelungen The Nibelungen series is available in three sizes with a total edition of 8. 90 cm w x 60 cm h (35,4" w x 23,6" H) 150 cm w x 100 cm h (59" w x 39,4" H) 180 cm w x 120 cm h (71" w x 47,2" H) Quite often the murmuration of starlings were almost like a rotating storm, resembling the scenes I witness during storm chasing in the USA. I photographed this bird spectacle during the winter months in Friesland a northern province of the Netherlands. Every night the starlings roosted in the same area. At the end of the day towards dusk they gathered near their sleeping place forming huge clouds of little birds. At times there were peregrine falcons around. As a response the huge flock started to dance in beautiful shapes often resembling animal figures. It’s incredible that they don’t collide with each other. There is no leader in the group and every starling checks its direct neighbors in flight. When the birds come too close to each other they all deviate to the right, preventing accidents. The dancing starlings reminded me of a classic concert with everchanging melodies. The romantic “Ring des Nibelungen” by Wagner inspired me for the title of this series. This opera at times as bombastic and intense as a storm fits the series well. Erik Hijweege

Erik Hijweege (1963) is fascinated with the overwhelming power of nature. He started chasing big weather and tornadoes in 2006. Since 2013 Hijweege is also using the 19th century wet plate collodion process. The fragility of Endangered species inspired him to use Ambrotypes (Glass positives) to photograph a selection of frozen Animals from the IUCN RED List. This project resulted in the Endangered book. His latest project 'Sublime Nature' focusses on the beauty of Nature's forces and the vulnerability of man. Rotating storms, thundering waterfalls and strangling trees take centre stage in this project
