Cesarco’s work addresses, through different formats and strategies, his recurrent interests in repetition, narrative and the practices of reading and translating. In Footnote #6 and Footnote 7#, a barely noticeable sign of an asteriks takes central stage in the form of letraset on the wall. The title of the work straightforwardly suggests its function, while sentences in the bottom describe the empty, referenced place.
