Texts by Carlos Amorales, Patricia Ellis, Rein Wolfs, Cuauhtémoc Medina, and Philippe Vergne. Includes a biography, Lucha Libre dictionary, list of most frequently used words, and instructions for seven wrestling positions. "Carlos Amorales is a Mexican artist whose work in the media of photographs, videos, installations, and performance draws on the theatrical world of professional wrestling in Mexico, where the fighters assume fictional characters and are popular heroes. Amorales takes part in this world by creating his own alter ego: a wrestler that fights under the name Amorales and wears a mask designed by the artist. The result is a fascinating, multi-layered game of changing identities, and a constant shifting of reality and fiction." -- publisher's statement. Text in English with some Spanish.
