- About my artwork
- The Exquisite Corpse Video Project (ECVP) is a unique video collaboration inspired by the Surrealist invention, the "Exquisite Corpse". The project is comprised by ECVP Volume 1 (made in 2008 by 36 artists from 16 countries, 9 chapters and total running time 82 minutes) and ECVP Volume 2 (made in 2009 by over 50 artists from 21 countries, 12 chapters and total running time 96 minutes).
In the Surrealist 'game', a paper is folded such that each contributor sees only a small portion of the previous contributor's work, and begins his own work from that small portion. When the last participant is finished, the sheet is unfolded to reveal a strangely divergent, yet contiguous form or figure.
Using the semi-blind, sequential method of the surrealists' game, ECVP participants create video art in response to the final ten seconds of the previous member's work. Each member is asked to incorporate these seconds into their piece, creating transitions as they please, until everyone's vision is threaded together into an instigating final "corpse."
The videos from the ECVP were initially created by artists who met online, at artreview.com, a networking site for artists, galleries, and collectors. The project was coordinated by Brazilian video-artist, Kika Nicolela.
While the Surrealists are said to have created the method almost a century ago, only recently could such a fast-paced, pan-global, audiovisual variation of this exercise be produced. The inspiring process of exchange among 'strangers' from around the world illuminates the possibilities of globalized, collective creativity.
ECVP screenings and exhibitions have been taking place since June 2008, in Sweden, US, UK, Greece, Canada, Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Australia and South Africa.

CRITIC ESSAY ABOUT THE ECVP
DIGITAL BLIND DATE, by Juliana Monachesi [original in Portuguese, translation by Kika Nicolela, Caroline Rodrigues and Jan Kather] The Exquisite Corpse Video Project, having embraced random and chaotic processes, departs from the Dadaist method of creation. Each artist responds to the ten seconds of video sent by the previous artist with one minute of his own, from which he sends the last ten seconds to the next artist. The result is video that runs about ten minutes. The power of a video made… Continue
