Her 2012 exhibition A Dream If Ever There Was One at the Hasselblad Center in Gothenburg presented an overview of her work including landscapes, portraits, nudes and still lifes in collaboration with Helsinki's Finnish Museum of Photography.[3]

Lindström was Sweden’s first female professor in photography at the University of Gothenburg, establishing a master’s programme and laying the foundations for ongoing photographic research.[3]
