Exquisite Corpse ist eine Video-Zusammenarbeit von 36 Künstlern aus 16 Ländern in ständiger Fortsetzung. Das Projekt basiert auf der Erfindung “Exquisite Corpse” der Surrealisten.
Das vorläufige Endergebnis sind 9 Staffeln (Exquisite Corpse Vol. 1 bis Vol.9) der “digitalen blind dates”.
Kika Nicolela (*1976 ) arbeitet multimedial zwischen Film, Installation und Fotografie. Sie studierte Film an der University of California in Los Angeles und machte 2000 ihren Abschluß in Film und Video an der University of Sao Paolo/Brasilien. Ihre preisgekrönten Filme wurden seitdem auf Filmfestivals in mehr als 30 Ländern gezeigt.
Wir freuen uns sehr auf Freitag und laden ein.

The Exquisite Corpse Video Project (ECVP) is a unique video collaboration of 36 artists from 16 countries, inspired by the Surrealist invention, the “Exquisite Corpse”.
In the Surrealist ‘game’, a paper is folded such that each contributor sees only a small portion of the previous contributor’s work, and begins his own work from that small portion. When the last participant is finished, the sheet is unfolded to reveal a strangely divergent, yet contiguous form or figure.
This is also the approach of Kika Nicolelas’ video project:
Invited by Nicolelas, there are eight or nine artists who contribute in one video dealing a specific subject. One artist creates a video up to one or two minutes and sends it to Kika Nicolela who hands the last ten seconds of it on another participant so that he can tie in with an additional one to two minutes-segment.
The preliminary results are nine series (Equisite Corpse Vol. 1 to 9) of “digital blind dates”.
Kika Nicolela will present Exquisite Corpse Vol. 1 at the Kulturpalast Wedding. This evening she wants to invite more artists to contribute to the next edition of ECVP.
Kika Nicolela (born 1976) works multimedial-based between film, installation and photography. She studied film at the University of California in Los Angeles and graduated in film and video at the University of Sao Paolo/Brazil in 2000. Since then, her award-winning films were shown at film festivals in more than 30 countries.
We are very much looking forward to next Friday and welcome you.
