So can you, for example, picture a black square which takes up the entirety of your vision? So your eyes are open, but you perceive nothing in front of you?

Not quite like that, but yes, sure.
I can decide not to process what comes in my eye, as long as it's not a tiger or something. Then I don't see it. If it's a familiar face or a threat, then it's harder to phase out, almost impossible.
It's useful to have something better to fidget with than a black square. But I can do black square.
Also your actual vision is like a spot, not like a square.
