Lourdes Grobet

July 27, 2022

❝ In the 1980s, [Lourdes] Grobet began photographing the colorful world of lucha libre, documenting what she described as “real Mexican culture.” She focused her lens on all facets of the phenomenon, both the spectacle within the ring and intimate depictions of family life, featuring both male and female wrestlers with their guards down, but never without their masks, lending these domestic scenes a surreal quality. For Grobet, the masked luchadores were not simply contemporary entertainers, but had deep resonances within Mexican culture, from Indigenous traditions of mask-making to the masked Zapatistas of Chiapas. ❞ *
