The painting for Friday 2 October, Late edition: A weathered wooden cottage standing on giant scaly chicken legs, mid-stride and kicking up dust, bursting through a vast lost-property office at Oslo S, surrounded by shelves of forgotten umbrellas, suitcases, skis and gloves. Infrared film photograph: dreamy white foliage-like glow, pale ghostly highlights, deep dark skies, grainy texture. Euphoric mood, radiant light streaming in, flying scarves and hats, joyful dynamic low-angle composition.

How it was made

First edition · Saturday 3 October

Today’s corpse

The exquisite corpse is a parlour game the Surrealists played in 1920s Paris. Each player adds a part of a drawing or a sentence without seeing what the others wrote, to hand some control to chance.

The name comes from the first sentence they made: “Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau”, the exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.

Here, four people write the words, one per fold, and the machine is the last fold. It paints them, often badly, which is half the fun.
