Elisabeth Ohlson

Swedish photographer and artist (1961–2024)

Elisabeth Ohlson
Elisabeth Ohlson (28 May 1961 – October 2024) was a Swedish photographer and artist. Her photographic work often represented LGBT people. Ohlson, a lesbian, was 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 this work, Ohlson wanted to remind people that Jesus worked with and helped the outcasts of society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Ohlson_Wallin
