The eight images in this edition are based on black and white films taken by Luc Tuymans in 1981-82 with a Super 8 camera. Refribell refers to the artist's recordings of several buildings in the harbor of Antwerp that have since been demolished, in particular the enormous cold storage facility of Belgian refrigeration company Refribell. Harbors refers to Tuymans's footage of a ship's bow and a full moon and refers to the collective memory associated with harbors.
