Abstract
This article engages the question concerning violence via a part-memoir, part philosophical reflection prompted by the work of documentary filmmakers Patricio Guzmás and Hito Steyerl. The more proximate object of reflection is the status of the disappeared in theatres of war and gross human rights violations such as Colombia. The less proximate object is the question of justice as involving inter-temporal and not only inter-personal relations, as well as the internal contradiction between justice seemingly been made and persistent injustice. It is proposed that the cinematographer allows singular access to the time dimension of justice by helping us to gather knowledge from a perspective of discontinuity that goes beyond the perspective of continuity required by mainstream legal and transitional justice processes. In contrast, the article advances a notion of justice transitional and optional.
