{"product_id":"lucha-libre-frederique-bangerter","title":"Lucha Libre – Frédérique Bangerter","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"107\" data-end=\"620\"\u003eThis 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, \u003cem data-start=\"409\" data-end=\"422\"\u003eLucha Libre\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"622\" data-end=\"1136\"\u003ePrinted in high-contrast halftone with deliberate graphic crudeness, the book adopts the visual codes of vintage lucha libre flyers and bootleg cinema ephemera. Photomontages of real masked wrestlers are intercut with fragments of philosophical texts, inviting a kind of metaphysical smackdown between order, chaos, freedom, and fatalism. The inclusion of full credit lines (\"Dirección: Frédérique Bangerter. Producción: Elvis Miranda\") heightens the parodic tone, proposing the book itself as both film and fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1138\" data-end=\"1359\"\u003eLucha Libre belongs in Darwin as a rare object that inhabits the unstable terrain between artist’s book, satire, political détournement and vernacular print culture. It’s not a pastiche—it’s a headlock on Western thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1361\" data-end=\"1380\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1361\" data-end=\"1380\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1382\" data-end=\"1650\"\u003eTitle: Lucha Libre\u003cbr data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1403\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Frédérique Bangerter\u003cbr data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1443\"\u003eDate: Unknown (c. 2010s)\u003cbr data-start=\"1467\" data-end=\"1470\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Risograph\u003cbr data-start=\"1508\" data-end=\"1511\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Softcover zine\u003cbr data-start=\"1545\" data-end=\"1548\"\u003eDimensions: approx. 21 × 15 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1581\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eLanguage: Spanish, French\u003cbr data-start=\"1606\" data-end=\"1609\"\u003ePages: Unpaginated\u003cbr data-start=\"1627\" data-end=\"1630\"\u003eCondition: Near fine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51787288543570,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/MAISONSCLOSES_3_adefb495-09e5-458a-b8f3-208b7cd6874d.jpg?v=1768035572","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/lucha-libre-frederique-bangerter","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
