About project
Pacific Prague Trail is a unique two-year project by Kateřina Šedá for Signal Festival. The artist understands the phenomenon of light in a new and different way than it has been customary for the festival so far. Here, light is a symbol of pausing, inner freedom and self-knowledge.
Signal Festival thus adds one original route to the programme, the author of which is Kateřina Šedá. It is she who will create the Prague version of the phenomenal Pacific Crest Trail for the festival, which runs through the mountain range on the West Coast of the USA from the border with Mexico to the border with Canada. Instead of the Pacific Crest Trail, we will have the Prague Crest Trail.
A long hike requires throrough preparation; that’s why we begin this year. Together we will explore how to get ready for this extreme trail through the streets of Prague, how to survive it, but most importantly, how to enjoy it!
The Pacific Crest Trail is 4,265 kilometres long, for our “Prague version” we will move the decimal point a little closer. The Prague trail, which runs from one end of the city to the other, will be 42.65 km long. Prague has no deserts or high mountains. Yet there is much to discover, find and share. That’s why next year we’re going on the Pacific Prague Trail together. And where exactly will it lead? We won’t tell you yet! But we know one thing for sure: each of you can influence it!
