Peter speaks to the Swedish photographer Maja Daniels, whose work explores how history, memory, landscape and archive transform the meaning of one another over time.


With a particular focus on the geography of Älvdalen in central Sweden, Daniels is the author of two photo books including Elf Dalia (Mack, 2019) , nominated for the Aperture-Paris Photo First PhotoBook Award 2019. This was followed byGertrud (Void, 2024), titled after its namesake Gertrud Svensdotter, a 12-year-old girl who was accused of witchcraft in Älvdalen in 1667 during a period known as The Great Noise.
