Elisabeth Ohlson VIA DOLOROSA
10 september - 7 november
Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin har varit fotograf sedan 1980 och fick sitt genombrott med utställningen Ecce Homo 1998.
"Via Dolorosa" är latin och betyder "smärtornas väg". Via Dolorosa - smärtornas väg - var vägen Jesus tvingades vandra, från dödsdomen i Pontius Pilatus palats, genom gränderna i Jerusalem, fram till Golgata, avrättningsplatsen.
Traditionen med andakter framför fjorton eller femton "stationer" i kyrkan lever kvar än idag, framför allt i romersk-katolsk tradition. I South Africa Via Dolorosa anknyter Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin till denna urgamla tradition. Utställningen bildar femton "stationer" skildrande lidandet, kampen och kärleken i det hiv-aidsdrabbade Sydafrika. Vi bjuds in att vandra i våra medmänniskors fotspår, längs South Africa Via Dolorosa.
Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin has been a photographer since 1980. She got her breakthrough with the exhibition Ecce Homo in 1998.
“Via Dolorosa” is Latin and means the path of pain. Via Dolorosa was the way that Jesus was forced to walk, from the palace of Pontius Pilatus where he was sentenced to death, through the alleys of Jerusalem, up to Golgata, the place for the crucifixion.
The tradition with devotions at fourteen or fifteen different “stations” in church is still alive, especially within the roman-catholic church. In “South Africa Via Dolorosa” Elisabeth Ohlson refers to this ancient tradition. The exhibition forms fifteen stations were the suffering, the struggle and the love in the Hiv/Aids-stricken South Africa of today is depicted. We are invited to walk in the footsteps of our fellow man, along South Africa Via Dolorosa.
