Bringing together these designers from around the world, Riley drew inspiration from the surrealist parlor game, Exquisite Corpse. Cadavre Exquis, as the game is known in French, involved a collection of images assembled by various artists with no regard or knowledge of what the other artists have drawn, producing one image whose components don?t necessarily match but flow together as one playful composition. Under Riley?s direction, each participating architect was eventually assigned an area and depth to build out and given free reign to create fully individual designs. The result is a uniquely modern, architectural version of the Exquisite Corpse. Photography: Imagen Subliminal
