Actress and director Asia Argento created this mesmerising series of film shorts exclusively for SHOWstudio over the course of October 2006. The vignettes, drawing on an ad-hoc 'video diary' aesthetic but in fact painstakingly directed, intertwine reality with fantasy thanks to a script devised by Emma Forrest that confuses fiction with reality.

It would be easy to kill oneself. If anyone it should be me. My body is wrecked i am mean and angry. Cant seem to make things right. Talk this crazy talk. Dont take care of self. I am, we all are, suffering and miserable. It breaks my heart to hear you are sick and desperate also. For what it is worth I am thinking and dreaming of you all the way over here with the sun gone down and things just keep knocking into my head. U know the rest. You seem to know everything.

This project rather feels like what David Lynch would do if he were to shoot a documentary. As with his narrative features, one's left never knowing what exactly to think and the films are intensely facinating willfully, or against one's own will, exposing the darkness within.
