Exquisite Corpse

This lovely lady was collectively assembled by myself and two

of my classmates. Each collaborator added to the composition in sequence,

without seeing what the previous person contributed (hence the folds).

A bit of history:

Among Surrealist techniques exploiting the mystique

of accident was a kind of collective collage of words or

images called the cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse). Based on

an old parlor game, it was played by several people, each of

whom would write a phrase on a sheet of paper, fold the paper to

conceal part of it, and pass it on to the next player for his contribution.
