This Much Is True by Albert Elm (2016-2025)

This series brings together energetic snapshots and dreamlike landscapes into a cohesive body of work that employs a raw yet playful photographic language. Through this approach, Elm reflects on life as he experiences it in the present, shaped by age, circumstance, and environment.

Accumulating these impressions over time, the work gradually constructs an image of a world that the artist through the artist’s interpretation.
