For the last twenty five years, Lourdes Grobet has been combing Mexico to photograph lunchadores, those beefy masked wrestlers so synonymous with Central American pop culture.
Following the Wikipedia entry is particularly edifiying if you are looking for more information about the history of lunchadore masks: "The most iconic match is máscara contra máscara (English: mask versus mask), where two masked luchadores bet their masks, and the loser is unmasked by the winner and his real name is officially revealed. The older the luchador gets without being unmasked and the more times he successfully defends his mask, the higher his status."
