Nacenza is the editorial outcome of a documentary project initiated by Amador Lorenzo in 2014. The project aimed to depict the life and inhabitants of the Queixa-Manzaneda Central Massif by accompanying a rural veterinarian in their daily work.
Amador's work offers an original visual narrative that avoids the nostalgic approaches often used when portraying rural life.
Nacenza is a book where, without hierarchy or preconceived notions, animal life and human beings coexist alongside the vastness of nature and the safety of shelter, the resilience of life, and the inevitability of death.
Curro da Mosenda and Nacenza are two moments of the same story. Nacenza is a novel, the boundless, a whole life; Curro da Mosenda is a tale, with a clear beginning and end, yet what unfolds between those two moments can also span an entire lifetime.
