Synopsis: In a Manhattan basement, Scott Zieher discovered a pile of photographs among the belongings of a recently deceased tenant. Presented for the first time, they offer an intimate portrait of a group of gay bikers. Its an authentic slice of macho life. Presented as the two series in which the images were found, 1962 and 1972, BAND OF BIKERS 1962/1972 draws a loose narrative over a decade. The b/w sequence from 1962 reveals a hushed, simmering milieu, but by 1972 the photographs present confident subjects, newly aware of a coined aesthetic portrayed in the now-available muscle and biker magazines, with their heavy-handed eroticism.
