- About my artwork
- Inspired by the Surrealist invention, the "Exquisite Corpse", a method of sequential, collaborative image production, the videos of THE EXQUISITE CORPSE VIDEO PROJECT were composed by 35 artists from 16 countries.
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.
These video versions were created by members of artreview.com, an online networking site for artists, galleries, and collectors, and was instigated and managed by Brazilian video-artist, Kika Nicolela. They were composed in the following manner: the final ten-seconds of an initial one-minute video is sent online to a second participant, who then integrates it into the beginning of her own minute-long video, and she, in turn, sends her final-ten-seconds to a third contributor, and so on, until the collected minutes are 'stitched' together in their order, creating a single piece.
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 sharing and exchange between and among 'strangers' from around the world illuminates and celebrates the possibilities and potentials of globalized, collective creativity.
The first 3 videos of the series were exhibited on the Formverk gallery in Sweden, June 2008. The second series were finished in August and had their world premiere at Monkeytown, in Brooklyn, New York. Other screenings and exhibitions are taking place in various countries, such as Greece, Canada, Brazil, USA and Australia. A book about the project will be released January 2009. The videos Corpse#7, 8 and 9 will be finished in December 2008.
