¡sexo y violencia!
take one part mexi-monster cinema and one part teenage mutant ninja turtles. throw in a little zorro, the WWE and the knit costume-wearing performance art collective forcefield, and you get the raw, vivid and – to the uninitiated – unhinged world of lucha libre, or mexican professional wrestling. it's a high-flying and acrobatic style of professional wrestling that's conquered mexico and is slowly conquering the rest of the world.
photographer lourdes grobet turns a penetrating lens to mexican wrestling culture in lucha libre: masked superstars of mexican wrestling – a 20-year study of lucha libre with over 500 photographs of luchadores, their fans and even their families. it includes essays, interviews and photos of stickers, fliers and even posters for mexican wrestling movies (think santo movies on UHF). as the publisher says, "this is THE definitive look at mexico's masked superstars."
