Little Minx - Exquisite Corpse

Exquisite Corpse

In 2007, Little Minx collaborated with Jacqueline Bosnjak and Mark Beukes of New York-based IDEALOGUE to create a 21st century version of the early 1900s parlour game Exquisite Corpse. Drawing inspiration from the game's unique structure, Little Minx's founder Rhea Scott worked with IDEALOGUE guardians Jacqueline Bosnjak and Mark Beukes to determine how to approach the content-driven, non-linear narrative structure. The experiment included distributing of the content across multiple platforms, including iPod, iPhone, and Sony PSP.

Rules were established for the film series. Each director had to pick up where the other one left off, carrying over the last line of the script from the preceding film. The director also had to represent "Little Minx" at some point in their short film.

Little Minx and Idealogue hired British designer David Pearson to create a film poster for the "Exquisite Corpse" series.

Famous quotes containing the words exquisite and/or corpse:

    There is ... a class of fancies, of exquisite delicacy, which are not thoughts, and to which, as yet, I have found it absolutely impossible to adapt language.... Now, so entire is my faith in the power of words, that at times, I have believed it possible to embody even the evanescence of fancies such as I have attempted to describe.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constraints, such people have a corpse in their mouth.
    Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
