Was it marketing, mystification, or misogyny which caused the steep rise of the artwork Fountain? What started out as a lost piece of anti-art by an anonymous creator, eventually became the most influential artwork of the 20th century. Speculations about a female author come and go. Who is she? And what is true, or even real, in this case? Can we bridge that century by giving the possible artist a voice? Who is behind the most influential work of art of the 20th century? From Dada to data: Alreadymade, like Fountain in 1917, radically challenges the idea of authorship and identity, and does so in a remarkable setting: the digital afterlife. Weaving its story with found material from many different sources, Alreadymade had its premiere at the IDFA.

This film is screened with the kind contribution of the General Consulate of the Netherlands.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
