Ecce Homo
In 1998, Stockholm experienced a miracle. Gays and lesbians, bisexual and transgender people celebrated Europride and in the middle of the festivities appeared Jesus Christ.
Jesus of Nazareth stepped down to earth and became visible to the people through Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin’s photo exhibition Ecce Homo. There stood Jesus amongst leather-clad gays and lesbians, there stood Jesus giving Holy Communion amongst drag-queens and transvestites, and just like 2000 years ago the reactions were enormous.
Since its 1998 debut, Ecce Homo has been a subject of global controversy, and Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin has been acknowledged as one of the premier photographic artists of our time. Ecce Homo is Latin for “Behold the man”. |
