Lucha Libre – Frédérique Bangerter
This risograph book-object by Swiss artist and editor Frédérique Bangerter is part of the Darwin archive because it performs a collision of bodies and ideas: Mexican masked wrestling meets Enlightenment and anarchist philosophy in a pulp-red, deep-blue zine. Published without a clear imprint or date, Lucha Libre assembles a surreal and satirical tournament where Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon are recast as luchadores in a delirious speculative theatre.
