Exquisit Corpses is a formal study that alludes to the decay of cinema and the advancing of digital film through a series of devolving images from the history of photography, and early motion picture technology. Director Dana Plays uses random chance operations of the exquisite corpse, by creating vertical triptychs, and mixed frame combinations, of stacked motion picture footage of Muybridge, horse in motion, Edison early toys with her own footage shot with a 16 mm camera of the subway train arriving at the station, and animal locomotion study she shot in high speed digital cinematography.
