Gertrud — Maja Daniels. Published by Void.
This book feels like an organic continuation of the previous book, Elf Dahlia, published by MACK. Maja Daniels' new work presents the same locations through the eerie 17th-century story of little Gertrud, accused of witchcraft. Wildlife photography and atmospheric portraits combined with stunning archive images are both frightening and mesmerizing, immersing you in a space of myth and magic. Void Publishing has done a first-class job in presenting Maja's project: the design of the book and how well its form matches the content is simply amazing.
