Far from being a catalogue of the exhibition, Detournalia<\/em>, staged by the Museo de Arte \u2018The concentrated patience of Kacero\u2019s conceptual works can also be found in his stories,
Moderno de Buenos Aires in 2014, this artist\u2019s book by Fabio Kacero is a work of art that
grew out of it and withstood the test of time. The \u2018territory of detours\u2019 \u2013 the artist\u2019s essential
method of creation cyphered in the neologism of the exhibition\u2019s title \u2013 intervenes, deforms
and remakes every structural element of a publication: indexes, titles, lists of works,
images, texts, references, epigraphs. Here we find images of Kacero\u2019s works, but also of
spectators looking at images of his works and spectators looking at books and others\u2019
works on other books; texts by a dozen writers, artists and critics talking about the book,
the exhibition, other books by Kacero, and other exhibitions; indexes \u2013 a lot \u2013 and indexes
of indexes; the designs of the three dust-jackets for the published book appear again within
as works in themselves, along with other unused cover designs and covers of other books;
and even a story by Jorge Luis Borges written out long-hand by the artist in an immaculate
simulation of Borges\u2019s own microscopic hand. Fabio Kacero\u2019s metamorphosis of an art book
in this publication makes it a \u2018fractal\u2019 work, where the whole and each of its parts is a pretext
to apply his methods, to try a fresh detour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
which move on unhurriedly and last for an indeterminate length of time. Patience is an
essential tool for someone who cherishes certain obsessions. It is the repetitions and
variations that give the book its unique form. The scenes echo each other from one story
to another, linking them in different ways, both explicit and surreptitious. Stories by Kacero
may continue in another version of the same story, as if it were his counterpart. Stories as
remakes. This rewriting is the aspect that is most similar to his artistic work. A repetitive
inscription on a smooth surface. Reappearances, doppelgangers, spectres. Memory loans
and exchanged identities. \u2019
