About this work

You see twenty small black-and-white prints laid out in a row. Each one shows a mix of body parts—arms, legs, heads—stitched together in strange, jumbled ways. The Chapmans made these by playing a game called "Exquisite Corpse." One artist draws a section, folds the paper to hide it, then passes it to the other. The final image is a surprise, full of weird connections. It’s like a visual joke that keeps going. Look up the technique they used: etching, drypoint, aquatint.
