About The Book
This Much is True weaves together Elm’s energetic snapshots and dreamlike landscapes into an original body of work that employs a raw yet playful photographic language. Through this approach, Elm reflects on life as he experiences it — at home and abroad, at this particular moment in time, shaped by his age, circumstances, and surroundings.
The images move freely between faraway places and local experiences, icebergs, swimming pools and deserts. We meet South Asian workers in Dubai, a marble quarry in Carrara, and an industrial pipe system outside Mumbai, alongside tourists photographing the Mona Lisa, graffiti on the separation barrier, and a masked police force in Copenhagen.
