Video artists are asked to contribute interpretations of body parts to the collaborative video sculpture to the the exhibition Exquisite Corpse curated by Abygai Peña and Jay Reinier – short looping films up to three minutes duration:

“The final installation [is] a fragmented, looping video sculpture using CRTs arranged to form an abstract composite body. ” It is “assembled from these unique parts, creating a fragmented, dreamlike experience that reflects the complexity, contradiction, and beauty of embodiment. The sculpture will consist of looped CCTVs, arranged in the shape of an abstract body. Whether abstract or narrative, poetic or grotesque, these works coalesce in a simultaneous video sculpture that invites viewers to explore the body as a collective myth.” (1)
