To accompany the Partial Presence exhibition Zabludowicz Collection screens Solaris (1972), a sci-fi film by Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky, that explores the nature of memory and humanity.

The film is set on a space station orbiting the ocean-covered planet Solaris, where cosmonaut Chris Kelvin arrives to investigate a series of mysterious and bizarre occurrences among the crew. What he discovers are supernatural phenomena that cause repressed and haunting memories to take physical form, including that of Kelvin's late wife. Through her, Kelvin attempts to communicate with the forces responsible, which appear to be emanating from the mysterious planet itself. (Taken from the Artificial Eye website).
