This is not a Czech Pavilion. 2013
Information booth
The ongoing topological mirror relation became the conceptual departure point of the project This is not a Czech Pavilion, in which Šedá attempts to create possibilities and develop actions to overturn the relations of people and sites in the contexts of Taiwan, the Czech Republic, the Venice Biennale, and so on. BATEŽO MIKILU is a group of six high school students who invited Sedá to transform their village of Zastávka (which literally means "stop" in Czech), a dysfunctional industrial town without any center. This collaboration model of 6-1-1 experiments with becoming strangers and the dynamics of inward-outward relations to question the contemporary art system and the social relations generated by capitalism in booming and vanishing towns around the world.
