The video Gleaning: An Image Reclamation Project focuses on the examination of visual culture from a black perspective. Combining sequences of the many found print images, as well as footage the artist took himself, that form his personal image bank, the video is a kind of essay into representations of the black subject in society. Marshall adds images to the work regularly, and thus it continues to grow in length.
