In the library on the Solaris satellite, this outcome presents itself as an easy-to-access fountain of knowledge about a  severely underrated Soviet film. Within the library one can access knowledge about the culture surrounding the film, visual imagery of this film and other Tarkovsky films, themes of emotional desire and an exploration of the character of Hari. I am incredibly proud of this outcome, as I think it is my most successful attempt at a publication, and I think we created a clear and concise outcome that both fulfilled the brief’s requirements and was an enjoyable outcome. If we had more time, I do think we could have expanded beyond a conventional publication, or included more volumes to fill the library up. Nevertheless, I think we worked very well.
