Elizabeth (born in 1961) is a Swedish photographer and artist that loves to expresses the sexualities of minorities through her artwork. One of her most well known pieces is 'Ecce homo,' that depicts Jesus with homosexuals and transsexuals. She wanted to remind people that Jesus was friends with the outcasts of society and this idea came to her when one of her Homosexual friends died from AIDS and someone mentioned that it was God's Punishment to them for being homosexual. 'Ecce Homo' was first showed in Stockholm in 1998 and after, in the Uppsala Cathedral (archbishop K. G. Hammar approved!!) as well as other places across the world.
She also has a piece called 'Taear' which is a photograph of two germen men farming with their genitals.
her site is in swedish I'm assuming but maybe you can navigate your way around to see some more of her work.... http://www.ohlson.se/
