Italian Western comics from the 1960s are used here as a database of mechanical gestures and encoded sounds. Through the systematic scanning of original paper issues, the ballistic event is isolated: the onomatopoeia that attempts to translate noise into a graphic sign.
Extracted from their narrative context, these frames lose their ability to tell a story and instead become a pattern on the seriality of violence. Repeated obsessively within the grid, the act of shooting is emptied of dramatic meaning and transformed into pure visual abstraction.
Death and conflict are reduced to minimal units of graphic information, where the "Bang" sign is no longer a sound, but evidence of the collapse of logical meaning in favor of systematic repetition.
