The Surrealists defined Exquisite Corpse as a “game of folded paper which consists in having several people compose a phrase or a drawing collectively, none of the participants having any idea of the nature of the preceding contribution or contributions” (Dictionnaire abrégé du surréalisme, 1938). In this game, artists collaborate in drawing a figure. The first artist begins by drawing a “head” and then conceals the drawing so that only the bottom lines of the drawing are visible. They pass the drawing to the second artist, who draws a “torso,” conceals what they’ve drawn, and passes it back. The first artist finishes the drawing by adding “legs.” The results are unpredictable but often rewarding.
