Cadavre Exquis Extended
Derived from “cadere”—to fall—it signifies both decline and transformation. The game “Exquisite Cadaver,” a collective assembly of words or images, explores the interplay between consciousness and subconsciousness, reality and fiction, public and autocrat. Folding montage, a controlled viewing technique, exposes society’s fragmentation and critiques the present “sub-realism.” This practice deals with the post-socialist-feminist perspective on the image of women, the act of seeing and the subsequent process of recognizing and understanding.
