“The Baroness von Freytag-Loringhoven née Plötz, was an unsung member of the Dada Movement. The Lamps details a trip to the Naples Archeological Museum where she breaks into ‘Il Gabinetto Segreto,’ a secret room filled with erotic objects from Pompeii. The film was made for the epic exquisite corpse, The Filmballad of Mamadada, a compilation of scenes from the Baroness’ life made by over fifty contributors, orchestrated and assembled by Cassandra Guan and Lily Benson.” (S. Silver)
