The photo used on this page was made at the exhibition that accompanied the movie at ARGOS. The photo is not the real captain (Johan Leysen) himself but rather a stunning real-life sculpture made by casting his face with an advanced silicone technique. Hence his closed eyes.
The vast emptiness of the movie inspired us for this on-line piece.
Tip: watch this work by going full screen (F11)
