In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Surrealist Manifesto, this short documentary takes a deep dive into the Surrealist game “exquisite corpse,” a collaborative drawing made by multiple people, each adding a different body part while unaware of what the others drew. This video itself takes the form of an exquisite corpse, with three distinct parts, each introduced by an exquisite corpse animated by Kohana Wilson (the head), Miranda Javid (the torso), and Gina Kamentsky (the feet).
