KYIV.- Launched on 1st May 2025 and commissioned by RIBBON International in collaboration with Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways), the ground-breaking visual artist Barbara Kruger launches a major new graphic installation on the exterior of a Ukrainian Railways Intercity train, with Kruger applying her iconic typographic intervention to its surface.

Barbara Kruger says: "Thinking about the power of the everyday, of beginnings and ends, of joy and loss."

Translated into Ukrainian on the train’s surface, Kruger’s newly commissioned text - Untitled (Another Again) - is a poem of relentless rhythm and stark oppositions, echoing the mechanical constancy of the railway itself:

ЩЕ ОДИН ДЕНЬ ЩЕ ОДНА НІЧ ЩЕ ОДНА ТЕМІНЬ ЩЕ ОДНЕ ЗАРЕВО ЩЕ ОДИН ЦІЛУНОК ЩЕ ОДИН БІЙ ЩЕ ОДНА ВТРАТА ЩЕ ОДИН ЗДОБУТОК ЩЕ ОДНЕ БАЖАННЯ ЩЕ ОДИН ГРІХ ЩЕ ОДНА ПОСМІШКА ЩЕ ОДНА СЛЬОЗА ЩЕ ОДНА НАДІЯ ЩЕ ОДИН СТРАХ ЩЕ ОДНА ЛЮБОВ ЩЕ ОДИН РІК ЩЕ ОДНА СУПЕРЕЧКА ЩЕ ОДНЕ ЖИТТЯ

---

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER NIGHT ANOTHER DARKNESS ANOTHER LIGHT ANOTHER KISS ANOTHER FIGHT ANOTHER LOSS ANOTHER WIN ANOTHER WISH ANOTHER SIN ANOTHER SMILE ANOTHER TEAR ANOTHER HOPE ANOTHER FEAR ANOTHER LOVE ANOTHER YEAR ANOTHER STRIFE ANOTHER

Running from the 1st of May to 14th July and curated by Maria Isserlis, Barbara Kruger’s intervention on a Ukrainian Intercity train is an act of solidarity, and a recognition of both the suffering and defiant perseverance of those who board these carriages daily. The Ukrainian railway system - long a subject of poetic and revolutionary imagination - now functions as both a site of survival and cultural resistance.
