The Eternal Frame 1975 is a video piece documenting the reenactment of the John F. Kennedy assassination in Dealey Plaza in a collaboration between two San Francisco based artist collectives T.R. Uthco Diane Andrews Hall, Doug Hall, Jody Procter and Ant Farm group Ant Farm Chip Lord, Doug Michels, Curtis Schreier . The artists taking on the roles of Kennedy, Jackie, and others rehearsed extensively to ensure verisimilitude, and when they performed the reenactment, it was executed with a striking attention to detail. While part of the video shows the artists playing on America s obsession with the media T. R. Uthco s Jody Procter in his role as a secret service agent tells a camera, We ve always been worried about Dallas it s a rough city, a gun city , ultimately the video shows that the sacred images of the assassination cannot be mocked. This piece can be seen as a commentary on the pervasive media culture in America, as it explores how the Kennedy assassination itself became a new type of media event.
