In 1996 Carlos Aguirre Morales had a number of wrestling masks made that were based on his own face, and asked various wrestlers from the Lucha Libre circuit to wear them. The book Los Amorales contains photographs and video stills of their matches and preparations and was created in close conjunction with Mevis & van Deursen. The design can be described as visual storytelling. The designers combined notes that Morales had for the publication with photos and images. The overall result evokes associations of wrestling match posters, road movies, journals, diaries. But above all, it captures the unique energy of the artist’s performances.
