"Commencing his career in the 1950s as a self-taught photographer working primarily for the gay underground Zurich club and magazine Der Kreis, Karlheinz Weinberger (1921–2006) took candid shots of lovers, friends and strangers on the street with an overt erotic investment in his subjects.

The photographs presented in this first of severa ..."

"Karlheinz Weinbergers Job in einer Siemens-Lagerhalle mag zwar eher eintönig gewesen sein, seine Fotografien aber, die er in seiner Freizeit machte, sind alles andere als angepasst. Denn seine Leidenschaft, und damit auch der Fokus dieses Buches, gehört der aufrührerischen Jugend in der Schweiz der 1950er und 60er Jahre, die sich vom amerikanischen Rock'n'Roll inspirieren ließ und daraus ihre ganz eigene Kultur entwickelte - mit hochgek ..."

Weinberger was one of the first queer photographers to show his often working-class models posi ..."
