Cadavre Exquis
2015-2016 Video
Work in progress
Cadavre exquis is an experimental collaborative project between Nika Schmitt, Cas Banierink and me where we explore story telling through the idea of a cadaver exquis such as the Surrealist and Fluxus movements have done so with writing and drawing. During this exercise, the visuals were held secret while only a sentence rughly describing the filmed material is passed on to the next participant. As it is a work in progress, we will from now on try to make a visual videographic cadavre exquis which means we do not necessarily have writing included but we will get the last frame of the previous video to which we then have to react.
