The Joy of Life (Maradona) — José Luis Ledesma — 89books

José Luis Ledesma approaches Diego Maradona through the popular image culture that grew around him rather than through conventional sports photography. Vernacular photographs, memorabilia and signs of devotion turn the footballer into a social icon whose meaning extends far beyond the pitch. Published by 89books, The Joy of Life examines fandom, memory and collective identification, showing how Maradona’s image circulates through everyday life and becomes part of a shared visual language.
