The images played crucial role when Norwegian health authorities decided to implement the Dutch concept “ParkinsonNet” in our healthcare system.
“This is Parkinson´s” challenges the 140 years old image of the stooped Parkinson`s disease patient. It is an image Thet no longer serves the patient community, inspire the scientific or challenge the medical and political. We need real patients to stand forth, with pride. The images have been on display in cities across Europe and the US.
Official trailer for “This is Parkinsons”.
For someone who has had Parkinson’s for almost 8 years and was diagnosed at 38, this is awesome. You have captivated everything in a few seconds. I can so relate to Superman!
Is there any likelihood it is coming to the UK?
Would love to see it as a temporary exhibition in London somewhere. I am a supporter and fundraiser for the Cure Parkinson’s Trust. Maybe the charity could help with getting it a brief home in the UK?
Congratulations on a fantastic realisation of yours and many others’ passion to change the face of PD and I am sure you will be very successful in challenging many people’s views.
Kind regards

Thank you. The exhibition was part of Parkinson UK Mervyn Peake awards a couple of years ago, but not very accessible and only as a video version at the gallery@oxo
