Disrupt, reject, destroy, avoid: At the interrupted rhythm of the broken photographic negatives that a granddaughter has rescued from her grandfather’s hands, The Last Piece reconstructs the memory of an older man who has decided to leave behind his life impulses to surrender to sleep and calm. An essay on the act of joining our memories, the illusion of remembering and the freedom to forget.
