From the 17th to the 25th of October 2006, Asia Argento contributed a video diary to Nick Knight’s website, SHOWstudio. The title of the 54 entries/episodes was “Don’t Bother To Knock” and detailed Argento’s daily life with three entries (noon, 6 pm and midnight) posted every day. The content of the entries were partially controlled by a discussion forum and together formed a cohesive whole, a sort of “mini-movie” anyone could view for free.
In the clips Argento discusses topics such as freaks, her father, Fellini and her sexuality; she also journals a pregnancy, a new love interest and her unraveling psyche. All of these issues come to a head before Argento’s final revelations and good-byes. The last visual of the diary is a digitally manipulated portrait of Argento taken by Knight, slowly burning away.
Asia Argento appeared in Placebo’s music video, This Picture, and featured on a cover version of Je t’aime… moi non plus with Placebo frontman Brian Molko and dance producers Trash Palace. Argento has also starred in Catherine Breillat’s period drama, Une vieille maîtresse (An Old Mistress)
