Alreadymade = 現成藝術
[NX550.Z9 A47 2025 DVD]
“杜象《噴泉》被譽為史上最具影響力的現代藝術品，這個充滿挑釁意味的現成小便斗，不費吹灰之力在藝壇投下震撼彈，從此改寫藝術史。真是天才手筆，抑或行銷噱頭？學者研究揭露，這件反藝術傳奇創舉，恐怕是一起創意剽竊！ 本片從《噴泉》神秘遺失開展剖繪，揭露現成藝術第一人，極可能是杜象所讚頌的「未來」，一名被遺忘的達達主義女藝術家洛琳霍芬男爵夫人！在小便斗簽上化名的人，是「他」還是「她」？女性最終只能是男性藝術家的工具人？ 全片攝製巧妙呼應「現成物」，犀利探討印象的破與立、創作的虛與實，引領觀眾思辨藝術的終極本質。” – from the DVD cover
