By organizing a radical demonstration of collectivity, Kateřina Šedá returned sensation to the everyday lives of the inhabitants of a small Czech village who had given up on themselves. After spending a year conducting fieldwork in Ponetovice, Šedá observed that its 350 residents held the common belief that their village was entirely insignificant–a place where nothing ever happens. The artist thereby devised a schedule that would synchronize the daily routines of Ponetovice’s inhabitants for twenty four hours. They would shop, sweep, eat, drink, and sleep all at the same time. In order to ensure that the event would take place en masse, Šedá worked with local government to have the schedule reach the entire community. By staging a collective action, Šedá created a rupture in a community’s experience of its everyday world. She thus allowed Ponetovice to experience its own power.
