Bruce Conner made his "Television Assassination" in 1963-64 by
photographing media imagery of the kennedy assassination and its
aftermath with an 8mm camera. In 1975, he modified this work into an
installation by using a bolex projector to screen the film on an
unplugged television set. This work appeared in the Walker Art
Center's show on Conner a few years back.
