DUST TO DUST
Six stories. Six incarnations of the same hell.
In DUST TO DUST, each character confronts the body — their own or someone else’s — as the last territory of truth, guilt, and redemption.
From the woman who inherits her dead mother’s shoes, to the man consumed by alcohol and fire; from the girl haunted by the spirit of Halloween, to the lover who dances with decay; from the boy who tests his flesh to devour his deepest fear, to the family suffocated by a grief that refuses to die…
each story is a variation of the same dying breath.
Between drama, hallucination, and body horror, DUST TO DUST builds a single, collective body — made of unspoken desires and human remains that refuse to rot.
A journey through the anatomy of loss, where flesh becomes memory, and memory turns to dust.

Raised in ecclesiastical art and born from a visual art background, Cristopharo breaks traditional narrative structures through dreamlike fragmentation and radical physicality. From award-winning cult classics like House of Flesh Mannequins to the apocalyptic Red Krokodil and the provocative PHALLACIES, his body of work challenges aesthetics, taboos, and the politics of the flesh. He is a frequent guest at international festivals and a reference point in underground and arthouse horror.
