The Exquisite Corpse is a collaborative art and writing game that originated with the Surrealists in the early 20th century. Participants take turns creating a piece of art or writing without seeing the contributions of others. Each person adds to the work, often leading to unexpected and imaginative results. In visual art, players typically fold a sheet of paper into sections, allowing each artist to draw a part of a figure or scene. In writing, contributors might write a sentence or phrase, building a story without knowledge of previous entries. This technique encourages creativity and spontaneity, reflecting the principles of Surrealism.
