Desperado widmet sich der schwulen Fetischfotografie von Fred H. Berger, dem Mann hinter "Propaganda" - jenem legendären New Yorker Subkultur-Magazin, das sich mit Bildern umwerfend schöner, in pikanten Leder-Outfits und Militäruniformen abgepackter androgyner Wesen einen Namen gemacht hat. Sein Œuvre schuf Berger im Laufe dreier Dekaden auf drei Kontinenten. Nun wurde in diesem saftigen Kompendium dekadenter Freuden seine obsessive Suche nach „radikaler Schönheit“ in all ihrer Erhabenheit und Unverschämtheit umfassend dokumentiert. Für mutige Männer und Frauen.

Born in New York City in 1957, Fred H. Berger is a life-long New Yorker and heir to the city's rich legacy of art, culture and alternative lifestyles. In 1982, three years after graduating college with a bachelor's degree in political science and journalism, he launched Propaganda Magazine, the internationally renowned subculture publication devoted to the underground club and fashion scenes as well as the queer, fetish and transgender communities. As Propaganda's editor-in-chief and senior photographer for 20 years, he took thousands of photographs in countries around the world documenting the lives of society's rebels, outcasts and sexual minorities. Since closing down the magazine in 2002, Berger has pursued a freelance career as photo-journalist and art-erotica photographer whose work has appeared in numerous gay, subculture and mainstream publications, as well as galleries in the United States, Europe and Japan.
