Through a methodical sequencing, “Only the fires say“ forms a visual and perceptual story. The assonant and dissonant impressions (hot and cold, full and void, slow and fast) are prompted by subtle transitions, each image being “read” in the light of its predecessor. The idea of combustion is suggested in the work’s very first image. It therefore introduces a leitmotiv that runs throughout the book, the fires announcing the end of a season.
