‘The Dust of My Concrete Child’ is a video catalogue consisting of 7 short films that portray 7 different perspectives of intimacy and violence. It was shot in July 2025 at the Franck Areal in Basel (CH) and produced and directed by Lino Eckenstein and their company CRUELBEHAVIOR projects in collaboration with associate artist Eden Manga-Nkoy. This film series consists of 7 short films (each 7-9min) in which the cast of 7 dancers explore where the fragile body meets the brutal body. They are trapped in a big, empty and abandoned building, completely disassociated and isolated from time and the outside world. They pass through different narratives and atmospheres on a dystopic but poetic journey filled with sensations of discomfort, loneliness, fragility and violence. Through movement, dance and imagery these films communicate a suffocating, uncomfortable and vulnerable insight of the liminal space between violence and intimacy. Our starting point came from the human, the pure and unfiltered impressions we experience when confronted with these sensations. We aimed to take these emotionally and socially loaded feelings out of the constructs they normally exist in and approached intimacy out of the context of sexual affection or emotional attachment and violence as a brutal sensation, rather than an act of aggression. Our question is how do we experience these states, while not recreating actions of them. We defined and filtered this topic by isolating the sensation from the social and emotional confrontation.
