Dan Perjovschi’s screen print brings together a selection of his characteristic drawings, which comment humorously and analytically on current events – in this case, the difficult and often confusing processes of socio-political change between East and West after 1990 and the admission of “non-Western” countries into the European Union: “OK, we take the star,” says the EU circle of stars to the crescent moon. With a list of the various terms for the region that he, as a Romanian artist, has represented in international political discourse since the 1990s, he traces the changing perception of his homeland by the West, while emphasizing that he has never moved away from Bucharest.
