FT WEEKEND PRESENTS: MAJA DANIELS | 17.30 - 18.20
Swedish photographer Maja Daniels will be speaking about her latest project Elf Dalia, which is being released as a book by MACK (2019). Embedded in the historical enigma of a place and its people, Elf Dalia weaves together a narrative born out of the Swedish valley of Älvdalen. Daniels combines photographs taken from 2011-2017 with photographs from a local archive made by Tenn Lars Persson (1878-1938), a local inventor, mechanic and photographer. The two artists come together across centuries to create a coherent narrative that engages with the many mysteries of Älvdalen, particularly the preservation of the ancient language Elfdalian. Through this intermingling of past and present, Elf Dalia draws attention to the possible fictions of historic events and documentary photography.
