Exquisite corpse, also known as exquisite cadaver is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule or by being allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed.
Where did it come from?
The technique was invented by Surrealists and is similar to an old parlour game called Consequences in which players write in turn on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the writing, and then pass it to the next player for a further contribution. Surrealism principal founder André Breton reported that it started in fun, but became playful and eventually enriching. Breton said the diversion started about 1925, but Pierre Reverdy wrote that it started much earlier, at least before 1918.
In a variant now known as picture consequences, instead of sentences, portions of a person were drawn.
A 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature that sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind.

| I like this picture because I find the hula skirt and the mustache funny. |

| I like this one because the face is really funny; however it is a little too "out there" for me. |
