Event map
Sartorius Islands is a group of works made in response to Stanislaw Lem’s novel Solaris and Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1972 film. At the heart of the Novel and Film adaptation is the planet Solaris whose enigmatic ocean draws upon the immense repertoire of human experience and specifically memories of the scientists led by Sartorius.
Vivian’s works present both familiar and alien objects, appropriating images and forms that oscillate playfully between the reality and the imagination.
About
This is a solo presentation of work exploring notions of memory, time and contingency. Objects and images in the show are assemblages acting as stand ins and props.
