Ukrainian Military DJ Tapolsky at Burning Man 2024 | How Are You? | I’m Fine
- How are you?
- I’m fine.
At Burning Man 2024, Ukrainian military DJ Tapolsky played his powerful set near
the “I’m Fine“ installation, created by artist Oleksiy Sai and the team leader and producer of the art project, Vitaliy Deynega.
This installation became a symbol of the resilience of Ukrainians, showing guests from around the world the tragedy of the war. During his performance, DJ Tapolsky, a representative of the Cultural Forces of Ukraine, integrated recordings of the voices of his mother, comrades, and friends, who answered the questions: “How are you?“ and “What do you dream about?“

You know how they say that a boring person is the one who, when asked
“How are you?”, starts telling you how they actually are.
And so the interesting person would just say “I’m fine”, which allegedly would be a lie. But what if it’s not. What if that “I’m fine” from someone who is clearly not fine means something deep and true for them.
It doesn’t mean things are easy.
It doesn’t mean they stopped caring.
And it doesn’t even mean things are how they are supposed to be.
It means something more profound and important. It is a statement.
A personal decision to be fine, despite the really crappy circumstances.
To stand up, roll up their sleeves and do the work that needs to be done.
Of course they get tired, of course they need help, and of course they require both rest and healing. But they cannot just lie down and wait for those things.
And so they also need to be fine. That’s why they are choosing to be fine.
And they are choosing to be fine right now. Now is all that there is: tomorrow is just an idea.
And if today is their last day, yeah, they want to be able to say I’m fine, and actually mean it.
I’m fine is not to cover over for the things that are obviously not fine. It is to piece together happiness in spite of them — right now.
So, here’s the question: How are you? :)
