Welcome to the surrealist parlor game, Exquisite Corpse, now on the iPad. Exquisite Corpse is a drawing journey into chance encounters with surprising juxtapositions. You, as an artist participant, create a composition on the drawing panel and then pass it to another person without knowing what you have created. Play from two to five panels! No drawing skill needed!
The ending composition is that of a body, or a “corpse”, as the head, torso, legs and perhaps feet have all been imagined and executed by different creators. The final combination is a stitched together figure, one drawing panel bearing no relation to the the neighboring panels, thus revealing a hilarious being.
But why stop at human figures?
Play Exquisite Corpse using anything you can imagine as a starting point and let the chips fall where they may! Design new aircraft to fly in the sky, submarines to search the seas, or new plants to create a landscape.
"Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau." ("The exquisite corpse will drink the new wine.") -André Breton
