Antoinette LaFarge and Robert Allen, scene from The Roman Forum Project. In "Apologizing for Everything," Quintus (Alan Goodson) performed in front of a green screen, and his video image was mixed with altered footage from President Bush's 2003 State of the Union Address. The audience (visible here in the foreground) sees Quintus's image superimposed on Bush's like a ghost or a Day of the Dead mask, and this mix makes visible the multiple layers of impersonation: a fictionalized Roman actor (Quintus) playing the president of the United States as he makes a fictitious video will.
