ATHLETA

ATHLETA issue #9

Athleta Magazine Issue 9 is a new celebration of the sports muse, its social value, its infinite narrative power, and its relationship with contemporary photography. For the first time, our print journey begins with two different covers. The first is the work of Nils Ericson, while the lens of Rich Wade decorates the second. 'Game on', the traditions and rites of passage of American high school football, on one side, and 'It's all fake, right?', the brutal marvel of deathmatch wrestling on the other, are both gateways to this new chapter of our independent publication. Sacrifice, redemption, and resilience accompany us inside the Eastern New York Correctional Facility, where Joseph Rodriguez's legendary camera captures an unusual yet startlingly relevant bodybuilding contest among inmates. The statuesque bodies of the 'Forced Reps' reportage echo an ocean away in the centuries-old, mystical ritual of Iranian wrestling, described in 'Zurkhaneh, the House of Strength' by Konstantin Novak
