Summary:

Faithful to his style, artist-writer Fabio Kacero (b. Buenos Aires, 1961), creates a book that without being neither one thing nor the other, is all or, in any case, something beyond that everything. The edition is a catalog and a series of brief texts about his work, small and beautiful literary pieces, confluence of poetic passages, intimate anecdotes, stories, and reflections on contemporary art. Editor Gaby Comte presents a book (with three different covers, which are works, or rather part of Editions Fairy Fellersʺ, the publishing project in which Kacero designs covers for books and authors he invents) that follows the same course (and has the same name) as the exhibition "Detournalia", carried out in MAMBA in the winter of 2014 and curated by Rafael Cippolini. Anyone who thinks the book as a predictable structure will quickly be disappointment when they find in the first page, in the second, in the third and also in the next ten, a series of indexes that are not indices of anything but are work themselves. Kacero enumerates, makes lists, highlighting small bureaucracies of the paratexts, with which we deal on a daily basis: he indexes books that do not exist, stories?, essays? with suggestive names, that we want to run to read: Entrópico de capricornioʺ, Temporada de pathosʺ, Religión catódicaʺ, Mente en blanco de titanioʺ. His games with words plat between ingenuity and irony, but in their accumulation projected a deeper sense. "Immediately I realized - says Sergio Bizzio in one of the texts of the book- that the index, in turn, works as a picture the frame silencers what is outside of the work - but in reverse: Kacero would mute what is in, but how?".
