Abstract
Through a mnemonic process engaging members of a family who went through an episode of violence in 2007, this article evinces comparative signs between the collective act of traumatic remembrance and the photographic study. Among the testimonies and analyses of homemade pictures, some visual tools stand out: those that might decode processes evoked by the “last images”, either to disturb or to reframe the stories.
