The purpose of this article is to theorise the relationship between art and justice in times of transition so that a broader spectrum of political possibilities and their implications can be imagined. The aim is to offer a way to think about, and to render visible, the web of relationships which constitute this bond. By undertaking a close analysis and narrative investigation of Philip Miller, Gerhard Marx, and Maya Marx's REwind 2007-2013, I use the artwork to elucidate four key ideas relating to paradigms, agency, encounters, and space which make art relevant and meaningful to transitional justice. These four ideas frame two central arguments: 1) an account of transitional justice without aesthetic dimensions is insufficient, precisely because transitional justice 'acknowledge[s] itself as a process inseparable from feelings of justice'. Artworks can fill out affective topologies in ways that facilitate or stimulate recognition and a feeling of being there; and, 2) that art plays an important role in animating and activating individual narratives so that they take on collective importance. In doing so, the past can be shared so that a new political future can be imagined
