Jens Jørgen Thorsen

Jens Jørgen Thorsen was born on 2 February 1932. He studied art history at the University of Copenhagen and attended the Academy of Fine Arts intermittently, then worked in the press as a cultural journalist and art critic. A painter close to the Situationists, he staged numerous happenings with Jørgen Nash. His film project on the sex life of Jesus, whose screenplay he published in 1975, provoked international protests and lost its public funding; he only shot another version in 1992. He died in Sweden, in Våxtorp, on 15 November 2000.
