In this chapter, Daniel Oliver recalls the time he saw Marisa Carnesky in a documentary called XXXTripping on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom in 1998. The documentary was about sex, death, magic, transgressive art, and underground culture and included short sections from her performance with the Dragon Ladies, entitled ‘Ballad of the Bloody Pearl’. Oliver discusses how it left a big impression on him and showed it to his parents as inspiration of what kind of performance artist he wanted to be.
