Crowdsourced creation: Exquisite Corpse returns for third year

Founded in 2012, Design Exquis resurrected the game originally devised by the founder of Surrealism, André Breton. Cadavre Exquis sees each artist putting their own creative stamp on an object they receive, before passing it to the next artist – and so on down the line. No designer knows what the original object was.

For the third exhibition, a bar of soap kicked off the design process, with food designer Jacopo Sarzi creating a cork ice cream maker, and passing it on to inspire the next creation. The final piece was an aural work by composer Nick Phillips called Metamorphosis. In between were hand-made vessels by Studio 45 Kilo, marble pieces by Studio Swine and Lex Pott’s shelves.
