About the exhibition 

"This exhibition is about something bigger than photography. It's about getting and taking the place, no matter who you are." Fotografiska

Icons – An Exhibition about the Right to Exist! features portraits of famous icons and archetypes where we all can find someone or something to relate to. It consist of 21 unique, beautiful and magnificent images, which is hoped to have the potential to change people’s minds and allow the models throughout the pictures have their place in art, society and history. The 21 models have several things in common; dreams, feelings and Down's syndrome.

The exhibition premiered for the first time March 21st, 2016, on the World Down Syndrom Day in Fotografiska Museum, Stockholm. The date pointed at Down's syndrome have three copies of chromosome No. 21 instead of two.
