Archival Barb

A body abraded by copying but not erased. It becomes an accidental diagram of the archive’s governing claim: Barb remains fixed while the field around him fails.

B-03

Sensitive Barb

The counter-register. Sleep, injury, tenderness or exhaustion cannot be decisively separated. The image refuses the monster heel’s demand for one immediate meaning.

MM-01

Mothman Sheet

The no-photograph sentinel appears as unstable graphic evidence. Bodies and surrounding type smear; the red eyes remain fixed as focus rather than illumination.

VG-01

Malacto-Gallo

The pale interim manager of Sensitive Barb: a figure from the wrong year carrying “When” out of the future and into the Rabbits’ dreams.

The Poster Sheet

Eight wearable theses: the MTA’s differential, asterisk, transpose and subtraction marks above; Barb, the Arbiter, Club Silencio and the Rouge Man below. The archive becomes merchandise without ceasing to be theory.

Read the iconography dossier ↗
A black poster sheet of eight Ministry of Temporal Auditing, Barb, Club Silencio and Rouge Man T-shirt designs

The poster sheet’s four MTA marks turn the archive into a portable grammar: derivation, after-condition, transposition, subtraction. Beneath them, the character images supply what the symbols cannot—the face, body, stage and faction that make an audit feel like an event.
