The photographer has deliberately used homosexual models to communicate the likeness between biblical situations of being unaccepted and modern ones, and to show the all-embracing love of God.
On the photo of the Last Supper there are transgender instead of homosexual models, as a comment of the fact that Jesus according to the Bible often partook in meals together with people not accepted by society.
Tord Harlin, the bishop of Uppsala, described the exhibition as "At best it is bad theology, at worst it is blasphemy."
Reflecting upon the exhibition in an interview in 2004, K. G. Hammar said:Yes I found the picture difficult at a personal level, but that wasn't the issue.
Should pictures which in a very charged way illustrated their part in Jesus be removed just because we found them difficult on a personal level?
