Beschreibung | Elisabeth Ohlson (born 28 May 1961) is a Swedish photographer and an artist. In her works she often photographs representatives of LGBT people. Ohlson, a lesbian, is most noted for her exhibition Ecce homo which portrayed Jesus among gay and transgender people. The scenes were modern versions of stories of the New Testament, such as Jesus riding a bicycle in a gay parade, paralleling the triumphal entry of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. With the work, Ohlson wanted to remind people that Jesus worked with and helped the outcasts of the society. She had the idea when one of her friends died of AIDS in the early 1990s. |
