Synopsis

In March 2020, a group of 60 artists began a collaborative project inspired by the Surrealist game "Exquisite Corpse." Each artist created a one-minute video in response to the last frame of the previous minute, forming a continuous chain of creativity. Over two years, these contributions evolved into "Exquisite Moving Corpse," a unique artistic endeavor that reflects the diverse interpretations and styles of the participating artists. The documentary runs for 62 minutes and captures this innovative exchange.
