Television Assassination

Television Assassination is a significant work that emerged from the events following the assassination of President Kennedy. Bruce Conner created this piece as a companion to his earlier work, REPORT, which focused on the structural analysis of the assassination's impact.

This installation reflects on the construction of history through media, presenting fragments that highlight the ways in which the nation processed the tragedy. The work serves as a commentary on the power of television and its ability to perpetuate the Kennedy myth, suggesting that the President's legacy is entangled with the very medium that broadcasted his death.

As a collector, this film represents a crucial intersection of art, history, and media critique from the 1970s, making it a noteworthy piece for those interested in the evolution of documentary and experimental filmmaking.
