The Flesh of the Mountain
The ragged, desolate terrain surrounding Owens Lake in eastern California is captured in stark negative monochrome in the latest installment of Adam Piron’s film cycle, which probes the brutal history of Indigenous land expropriation in the American West. Drawing on archival footage from Thomas Edison’s 1894 Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show films, The Flesh of the Mountain revisits the violent legacy of white settlers’ claims to Paiute lands for silver mining—an essential component in the production of motion pictures.
