A subversive portrait of youth on the fringe, Swiss Rebels dives deep into the electrifying world of Karlheinz Weinberger a Swiss warehouse worker by day, and an underground visionary by night. With a camera as his weapon, Weinberger chronicled a generation of 1950s and '60s teenagers who rejected conformity and found identity in the raw aesthetics of American rock ’n’ roll.

These were boys with slicked-back bouffants, homemade Elvis belts, and denim stacked high and tight outsiders who transformed rebellion into personal style. More than a visual record, Weinberger’s work is a radical document of desire and resistance, depicting not just youth culture, but queer yearning and masculine bravado at the edges of post-war European society.

From biker gangs to laborers, from rockers to sportsmen, Swiss Rebels presents Weinberger’s bold homoerotic gaze and cements his place as one of the most daring visual chroniclers of mid century subculture. This first comprehensive monograph features 165 images across 240 pages, revealing the heartbeat of a hidden world where defiance met beauty.

An essential addition for collectors of queer archives, rebel aesthetics, and underground photography.

Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.

We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.

To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.

We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
