A look at Dan Perjovschi’s long-lasting artistic intervention in the public space in his hometown of Sibiu. Over 12 years of uninterrupted activity, the Horizontal Newspaper has connected its editions with different locations, from the theatre festival in Avignon to documenta fifteen in Kassel, questioning current events and proposing possibilities for a better future in a unique independent public art and, the book argues, educational project.

A fixed point from where Perjovschi has been conveying meaning for over a decade and an active space of freedom, self-determination, solidarity, and coherence.
