What is it?

It looks like a fancy colouring job in someone's hair.

Correct for the first question.

Here's a bit more:

Would it be the Swedish flag painted in the hair by a supporter of the Swedish team at the recent UEFA tournament held in Poland and the Ukraine?

Clue: Richard may well be watching some representatives of this over in "what are you doing" right now.

Yes to the Swedish flag but no to the rest. Not a sporting event. Definitely not sporting...
Another clue:

Another clue:

Are you saying that this challenge has absolutely no connection with anything even slightly connected with sports,such as Swedish olympic fans welcoming their team to London for the 2012 Olympics?

I am saying that this has nothing to do with the Olympics 2012, the Swedish team or the Swedish fans arriving here or still in Sweden.
(The Richard clue crossed with your question (happens...sigh) and was intended to point you at the flag...)
So the design & colours do represent the Swedish flag.

But it's nothing to do with sport.
And not sporting either.

Moving out slightly, which gives a massive clue for another of the questions:

 

[scifan57]

I think we're going to need another clue here. Is this one of those challenges that can't be solved without local or inside information unavailable to members outside the local area?

Just a wild guess. Is it the marriage of a Swede and a Brit? In the news?

I am sure I'm wrong, and I cannot follow his for some hours now.

Edit. So, if on an outside chance I'm right, the challenge is open to first come first served (thinking of a tennis tournament currently on in Sweden?)

Yes, correct about the Swedish/ English marriage. But not in the news the way you mean it (ie, the pair are not "celebrities".)
Another photo to study:

The question left unanswered is--where is this taking place...? Not difficult!

 

[scifan57]

I am correct,this challenge does require insider knowledge,which I don't have. We need more than an anonymous blurred photo here. The purpose of additional clues is to lead people closer to the answer,not push them further away.

If you want the exact location of the room in your last photo it is indeed difficult,if not impossible. I will not be participating any further in this challenge.

No, only the country and there have been lots of clues for that. Here is another that I was about to post:
