February is passing, but this Christmas tree is still standing.

A Ukrainian Christmas tree? The “Yolka,” the Euromaidan Christmas tree, the tree from the art auction that, for yet another year, is helping raise money for the military.

A Christmas tree in the history of Ukrainian art? It stands in the sand, in instability, as if it were “acting against its own interests.”

If the history of Ukrainian art is a history of ruptures, what interests could this fragmented chain have?

The loneliness of a Christmas tree beside a television. A goalkeeper’s fear of a penalty kick.
