Biography
Biography
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. The first Ecce Homo exhibition was held in Stockholm in 1998. Later an exhibition was held in Uppsala Cathedral that the archbishop K. Hammar had approved. Later Ecce Homo toured around the world. An Ecce Homo exhibition opened on 3 October 2012 in Belgrade, Serbia, then the only city in that part of Europe in which that exhibition was held. The exhibit had to be protected around the clock by security guards. In 2009 Ohlson Wallin was awarded Ingemar Hedenius-priset. Ohlson Wallin was diagnosed with inoperable stomach cancer in 2023. She died in October 2024, at the age of 63.
