A graphic study of the horror of nostalgia in the decline of the American Dream. After President Kennedy was gunned down on 22 November 1963, a new chapter of American dystopia began, replayed over and over on the home television. Decades later The Misfits and the horrorpunk movement turned that fault line of the American unconscious into DIY creativity and gothic aesthetics. TV Casualty re-examines it through found vernacular images: Polaroids snapped from the television screen of Kennedy's funeral cortege and press images from Camelot's last stand, woven into a cut-up, unnerving pastiche of America's fixation on the spectacle, made for the fiftieth anniversary.
