“This book is a testament to life in hospital—the physical place to which you are sent when ill. This is where I spend much of my time. But above all, it is about me, Frida. I turn the camera to myself not only because I am often alone, but because my sick body, with its scars, metal implants and all its fragility, is the landscape I know best. It is my specialty.”

Excerpt from the foreword of ‘Frida Forever’ by .lisa. Grab the book on our website today shipping worldwide 🌐.

“The beauty of the photographs presented lies in their disguised ordinariness.” Thank you for a thoughtful review of HRTLND by and for this lovely quote. We couldn’t agree more! The book is available on our website and in good bookshops distributed by .

“In one photo, a child casually bears an assault rifle in what is presumed to be some sort of shooting range. In another, a woman dons a garish gas mask, a large drink, and a tote bag in her hands, as she goes about her day. Both these photos bear their abnormalities as if commonplace. The reality is that in our modern times, these abnormalities are only becoming more and more common.”

“Meet the photographer who documents her illness as a radical art form”. A raw and honest interview with .lisa on out now:

“What were the biggest challenges in creating Frida Forever?

One of the biggest challenges has been the fear of dying before finishing the work. The urgency to tell the story pushed me to seek a perfect ending, but life — and this project — don’t work that way.”

Thanks Matteo for the thoughtful words. It means so much ❤️. From the latest review of .lisa’s Frida Forever on :

“In the contemporary landscape of authorial photobook publishing, Frida Forever by Frida Lisa Carstensen Jersø – published by Disko Bay – stands out as a work of rare visual and conceptual intensity. This is not merely an autobiographical photobook, nor a therapeutic narrative of illness: Frida Forever constitutes a critical and iconographic device that deconstructs and reformulates the ways in which photographic images can articulate the experience of a vulnerable, medicalized, and chronically ill body.

Through a sequence of self-portraits, performative mise-en-scènes, and documentary-style images, Jersø develops a visual language that avoids any conventional aestheticization of pain, opting instead for a hybrid and unsettling syntax, capable of alternating the raw and the playful, the symbolic and the explicit, the wound and the mask. In this sense, the book does not simply represent illness—it stages it, interrogates it, fragments it, and reassembles it in a stratified manner that is simultaneously affective, clinical, and political. “

—
HRTLND (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 over the last decade. 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. HRTLND highlights the interplay between connectivity and control, freedom and surveillance, and the gradual militarization of everyday life.
