The cadavre exquis was widely used by surrealists as a way of entertainment and to develop creative abilities. Maybe you know this „game“ from your childhood. It is usually done on paper using text or drawings.

My CE lists are an „open“ version of the game. Each person writes one sentence, in the end the sentences add up to a story. The list is used as a source of inspiration (other comments are written between parenthesis...).

The Return of the Cadavre Exquis

Finally! After a long, long pause!

The "cadavre exquis" ( English: Exquisite Corpse, Spanish: Cadaver Exquisito) was widely used by surrealists as a way of entertainment and to develop creative abilities. Maybe you know this „game“ from your childhood. It is usually done on paper using text or drawings.

And here is the resulting story for this week´s Cadavre, a story between a woman and a mysterious man, which takes place between Amsterdam, Budapest and Brooklyn , with an exciting open end which opens up the possiblities for so many other tales!!

Thanks to all of those who contributed to the story. The cadavre exquis says: until next time! (soon, real soon)...

Cadavre Exquis 2

This is the second time that I make this small "experiment", this time achieving amazing results. It might seem too bad that there wasn´t enough space to end this story, BUT I think the open end gives each one of us a chance to imagine what happened next. Please do comment with your suggestions!
I wish to thank all of those who participated, putting heart, soul and creativity into your contribution. and do not worry, The Cadavre Exquis will most surely visit again soon, bringing new adventures for our imagination!!!

She turns around and sees him as well. Suddenly a spark transports her memory to another place. She remembers a tree in the distance, a butterfly in the air, happy times...

I am sorry to say that I couldn´t record the last comment. But then again this story is never over! Please comment and thanks!
