Victims (they know so well) by Asia Argento

Relentles Slave (Montreal) and A.D.D Kid (Neu Yourk)

For Haider Ackermann’s A#3, Italian born actress and director Asia Argento presents a collection of her personal breakup letters addressed to her by lost loves in different cities. Asia labels the heartfelt confessions of each archetypal male companion, with the ‘relentless slave’, the ‘A.D.D kid’, ‘petulant and obnoxious’, the ‘paternal type’, ‘pain in the ass’ and ‘pretty cool guy’, each presented with their letters and the respective cities of her romances.

Their individual texts, either in english or french, are paired with Asia’s snapshots with each man in which she has scratched out their likenesses and painted them over – turning each photo into a disturbing self-portrait, coupled with each demonic ex-partners rendered as a dark, comic character.

A telling insight into the effect of a talented and beautiful young woman on men the world over, and her graphic representation of their idiosyncrasies.

“We used to love each other so much. You seemed to be the man of my dreams. The one and only. My soul mate. The true love. I hate you for proving me wrong.”
