An appropriation of 1960s Western comics, processed strictly as an archive of mechanical gestures and encoded sounds. Through systematic extraction, a single typographic element is isolated: the graphic translation of a gunshot.
Removed from their original narrative sequence, these fragments cease to function as a story, operating instead as a repetitive structural system. Serial accumulation systematically empties the gesture of its dramatic weight and exceptional nature. Conflict and lethal impact are reduced to minimal units of visual information.
Within this grid, the phonetic marker "Bang" ceases to signify an acoustic or violent event. It functions strictly as documentary evidence of how mass media seriality converts violence into a sheer pattern of form, rhythm, and abstract contrast.
