Elf Dalia by Maja Daniels. Published by Mack.
Maja Daniels’ first book, Elf Dalia, is a captivating narrative interpretation of the unique history of the Swedish town of Älvdalen. Daniels photographed in Älvdalen from 2012 to 2017, where she discovered the work of a local inventor, mechanic and photographer, Tenn Lars Persson (1878–1938). Daniels’ photographs accompany Perrson’s archive from the century before her; their images are woven together with text from the language unique to this small town. The result reads like epic fiction, a mysterious fantasy coinciding with historical fact.
