A film still from Black Glass shows an open field, presumably atop a mountain, with algae speckled rocks covered in yellow grass. There is a blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds. In the foreground a pole stands planted between the rocks, draped with hats, shirts, and other articles of clothing.

Black Glass examines the entangled histories of visual technology and the genocide and expropriation of Indigenous populations by white settlers through a violent collision of image and sound by looking back to Eadweard Muybridge’s series of stereographs taken of the U.S. Army’s efforts against the Modoc Tribe of Northern California during the Modoc War.
