Exquisite Corpse

Originally known as 'exquisite cadaver' (from the original French term cadavre exquis), Exquisite Corpse is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled by a group of people. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule or by being allowed to see only the end of what the previous person contributed. The end product is a unique 'artwork' typically made by four individuals.
