The communist regime suppressed any eccentricities in the public space. Standing out from the crowd on the street – whether in appearance or behavior – was suspicious and dangerous.

A banner reading "Air travel is the cheapest" was put up in the former central marketplace, where it remained for some time, as its point was apparently misunderstood by the state authorities.

This quiet resistance to totalitarian power encouraged passers-by to think about who the public space should belong to in the first place.
