I grew up in Mexico City where I began working in documentary films to later include photography in my practice. There, I began an examination of Mexican identity through Lucha Libre events. Where social constructs such as gender roles, masculinity, catholicism, morality, the conformation of the “other” and our indigenous roots are all portrayed on stage. Overall, the examination of this tradition elucidates the constructed idea of “Mexicanity”, revealing some of the causes and consequences of the aforementioned social constructions.
