Exquisite corpse is a method for collectively assembling images or words.
The name originates from the French term cadavre exquis.
It is often executed by one person drawing or writing on a piece of paper, folding it so that a tiny portion of the drawn lines or the last few words are visible, and handing it off to the next person to continue writing or drawing.
In Context

- They all wrote for about 10 minutes, after which they would pass it on clock-wise for the next person to continue writing.
