| Biologists consider Planet Solaris a
primitive formation, an ocean resulting from a dialectic development, a kind of gigantic
cell, fluid and unique, that they call a "Pre-Biologic Formation," a nervous
system. Even a chronicler stated that
the ocean was a distant relative of the electric eel! But in reality, not everyone was
convinced that the Planet-Ocean was a living creature and even less a rational creature. A
monster gifted with reasoning, an Ocean-Brain offered itself to innumerable
transformations, engendered by delirium.
That how it was born, the idea of the
"Autistic-Ocean."
Artist’s English translation of
"Solaris" (1961) by Stanislav Lem |
