The French photo-documentary artist JR and his art, along with Luigi Nono, are paradigmatic for Ernst Helmuth Flammer's work for vocal soloists, with the great singer Nicholas Isherwood being a significant source of inspiration for his composing.

Almer?a, tu terra quemada the six-part text, interrupted by choruses that develop continuously, is juxtaposed with the music, illustrating and commenting in an alienated way.
