Meanwhile, the newly-formed monster is revealed in awe-inspiring largeness – sometimes scary, sometimes comical – looming high up over the crowd. The possibilities are infinite!

In its original form, Exquisite Corpse involved participants drawing part of a character on a piece of paper, then folding the paper over so the next player could not see what had been drawn. The next player then drew another part of a character, and so on and so on. At the end of the game, the paper was unfolded, revealing a collectively created monster. The game started around 1925 and was played by Surrealists Yves Tanguy, Marcel Duchamp and Joan Miró among others. It is still a popular drawing game played by children all over the world.
