¿Qué es un Cadáver Exquisito? La técnica del cadáver exquisito fue adaptada al dibujo y al collage quizás inspirados en ilustraciones infantiles en las que las páginas eran divididas en tres partes (el tercio superior mostraba la cabeza de una persona o animal, la parte media el torso y la inferior las piernas). Los niños tenían la habilidad de mezclar y emparejar figuras volteando las páginas. Adaptado al medio escrito, es un método de creación colectiva que consiste en plasmar algo a continuación de otra cosa sin preocuparse de la coherencia o el sentido que el resultado final pudiera tener.
