Exquisite Corpse

Exquisite corpse is a collaborative art and writing game that originated in the Surrealist movement in the early 20th century. Participants take turns creating a part of a drawing or writing, but each does so without seeing the previous contributions. In drawing, a paper is folded to hide previous sections, while in writing, one line or phrase is concealed. The result is a surprising and often absurd combination of styles and ideas, reflecting a collective creativity. This process encourages spontaneity and imagination, blurring the boundaries between individual and group expression.
