Personal Work x Lucha Vavoom ° Paris
June 2nd 2023, White Nights x Paris
The wrestling ring has been set up outdoors Place du Chatelet, a lucha libre performance is scheduled to take place Tonight. I grab my camera and zoom to the center of Paris.
This event resonates strongly with a photo documentary I shot in LA about the rebirth of Burlesque at the end of the 90’s. This series about the Velvet Hammer was a great success in the French press. The co-director of this underground review was my dear friend Rita D’Albert and it's her deep voice that I hear ringside Tonight, haranguing the crowd. Wrestlers are now storming onstage, pumped up by Mexican electro punk music and hilariously kitsch videos. Lucha Vavoom is on ⚡️
