Daniella Dooling performs readings from her teenage drug diaries accompanied by Les LeVeque on an analogue video synthesizer – generating a psychedelic mix of body, words, colors and sounds.
At 14 years old, Daniella Dooling attempted to meticulously document her thoughts while experimenting with large doses of hallucinogenic drugs (primarily LSD). These drug diaries articulate her multiple transitions through stages of consciousness that reflect the anxieties, ecstasies and worldly revelations of a very stoned adolescent in 1981. Room 10 Rants is an exuberant, personal, often funny and hallucinatory 50-minute reenactment.
