About The Book
HRTLND (read as Heartland) by Danish photographer Mads Holm is a powerful exploration of life in a rapidly changing world, captured across 20 European and North American countries between 2013 and 2023. Through striking images of urban life, demonstrations, emerging technologies, migration, architecture, and militarized spaces, the book reflects on the paradoxes and tensions shaping modern society. The book presents a hyperreal landscape where the ordinary is interwoven with the unsettling, challenging the viewer to question what is visible and what remains obscured. Publisher’s Info
