THE WRESTLERS
· Editorial, Features · Andree Ljutica, editorial, photographyStory and Photography by Andree Ljutica
Suspended between theatrical arts and combat fighting, the worlds of independent professional wrestling and death match fighting are ripe with subtle contrasts and unexpected paradoxical elements related to gender and masculinity.
This photographic series, THE WRESTLERS PROJECT, intends to highlight these contrasts by presenting a select group of wrestlers from around the country in a high-glamour environment, effectively exposing the inherent tension between the sport’s masculine aggression and it’s performative nature.
