“Daily newspaper” is a publication project that includes a series of handwritten texts by the author on the assumptions projected on the region of the “Western Balkans” – a syntagmatic terms coined by the European Union in 1998. Through photographs and texts that are freed from previous references to the subject, the author examines the various pejorative representations projected on the Balkan region, exactly on the West Balkan region which forward this representation. Ultimately, the project tries to answer: How this region looks like through the prevalent set of representations?
