In the late sixties and early seventies, a group of friends which included many of the leading artists, writers, and intellectuals of the time gathered in a small Battersea flat in London to play Exquisite Corpse.
The game was invented in 1925 by surrealists André Breton, Marcel Duhamel, Jacques Prévert, and Yves Tanguy; each participant takes turns writing or drawing on a sheet of paper, folding it to conceal their contribution, and then passing it to the next player for a further contribution.
