I'd never heard of Exquisite Corpse, so I followed your link to a deeper dive. Around since the 20s and anchored in surrealism. Fascinating! I can imagine it being very fun to play, and so freeing. Lower stakes, they say in the video.
So many themes to explore around challenging ourselves to create (or think) without the burden of what ought to be. I'm not sure I understand why they were ever called corpses, though--they're so ALIVE! I guess that's the resuscitation piece.
Love the Exquisite Corpse game and the idea of resuscitation, collaborations of shelved work♥️
I just realized that adding flowers to a HWP vase is a collab of sorts? Or plating food? I like that idea ♥️
Yes! Me too ♥️

Enjoyed this read, Lindsay, thanks!
I love the unfolding of your experiences - it's like a game of exquisite corpses.
