"A Treaty"
Justin Mata
2013
'A Treaty' is inspired by the 1985 novel The Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. The video collages together photographs from historical sources, cinema and editorial publications to present a darkly humorous interpretation of a 19th century battle in the American Southwest addressing ideas of aggression, power and conquest.
