Maja Daniels (b. 1985, Sweden) is a photographic artist whose work can be described as a multi-layered academic and artistic practice that includes photography, sociological methodology, sound, moving image and archive materials.
With a background in sociology, Daniels is interested in the photographic medium’s narrative and performative functions. Her previous work explores themes of human relations, identity and self in a contemporary Western context.
Currently based between London and Gothenburg, her work has been exhibited in Paris, London, New York, Amsterdam and Bilbao.
Her projects have dealt with questions regarding heredity and identity, as well as the social and cultural effects of an increasingly institutionalized contemporary social climate and how our societies changing attitude towards older generations is reflected in the media.
