The common thread of the bestiary is taken up by the Cadavre exquis drawn by Avital, which fits into the framework of Surrealist automatism and the random association of elements. The term “Cadavre exquis” was coined in post-World War I France, in the context of surrealist salons. It originated as a game, later acquired by Surrealist practice as a tool capable of being a method of research, to stimulate each other.
Conceptually, but not operationally, Yuval’s Cadavre exquis are inspired by this practice beacuse they arrange themselves as beings with hybrid features, the restitution of which will take place thanks to the collaboration with entities on the territory such as La Polveriera, Fondazione Famiglia Sarzi, Soc. Coop. Castelnuovo di Sotto Carnival.
