Apocalypse With Pictures

Apocalypse With Pictures - Casebound Coffee Table Book

The arresting world of independent professional wrestling is revealed through photographer Greg Boozell images captured at the Homer Opera House, a small-town, rural venue located in downstate Illinois.

Operating outside the glitzy arenas of major wrestling promotions, indy wrestlers defy norms, experiment with storytelling and match formats, often pushing boundaries that mainstream wrestling might shy away from.

Interviews reveal how wrestlers chase their dreams, grapple with setbacks, and experience the thrill of connecting with wrestling fans. The images reveal the beauty, athleticism and humor that are the foundations of this brutal performance art form.
