Description
Take one part Mexi-Monster cinema, one part Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, throw in a little Zoro, the WWF and the knit-costume-wearing performance art collective Forcefield, and you come up with the raw, vivid, and psychologically unhinged world of "Lucha Libre" the sports-entertainment phenomenon that first swept Mexico and now the world. Photographer Lourdes Grobet's penentrating study of Mexican professional wrestling culture features more than 500 photographs of "luchadores" like Blue Demon, Santo, The Witch, Adorable Rub', El Solitario and Hurricane Ramirez, as well as pictures of their families, friends and fans--onstage, backstage and even at home. "Lucha Libre" also includes photographs of stickers, flyers, postcards, stills from "Mexi-lucha-cinema," interviews with the wrestlers, essays and much, much more! In this comprehensive 20-year study, Grobet has put together "the" definitive look at Mexico's masked superstars.
