Step into the life behind the performance. In Black & White, Lorenzo opens his world: the Camargue, his horses, touring and the hours of work in which his creations take shape.

Some fifteen years after the first book, the adventure has grown. Black horses have joined the white ones, formations have developed and liberty has taken centre stage. Lorenzo shares his instincts, doubts and continuing search for precision.

Heini Heitz’s photographs reveal the horses’ personalities, the energy of the arena and the beauty of everyday moments. In conversations recorded by Luisina Dessagne, a patiently built partnership becomes a living choreography.

A book to look at, read and return to. For lovers of horses, photography and creative journeys: an encounter with Lorenzo and the companions who make his adventure possible.

A new chapter after the first book

Raiana connects the two books. Already featured on the first cover, she accompanied Lorenzo around the world. The book follows new generations of horses, the arrival of black horses and the growing importance of liberty work.

Horses, personalities and a shared life

How is trust built? How does each horse learn its place without losing its personality? Lorenzo speaks about patience, observation and the living conditions he chooses for his horses, right through to retirement. We meet the individuals behind the formations.

Inside the creative process

High Jump, PAF, Cross, Spin, Solo… Lorenzo explains how his ideas develop. The photographs reveal the figures; his stories trace the work of inventing them and linking them into a flowing performance.

The Camargue, backstage and passing on a passion

From childhood dreams to the meticulous preparation of a performance, the book explores daily life at the Mas, the role of the team and Lorenzo’s wish to pass on his passion. His mother’s testimony and Mario Luraschi’s foreword illuminate a life shaped by passion and perseverance.
