Photographic Chinese Whispers is a photography variation on the children's game, "Chinese Whispers"... or, as we called it in Girl Scouts here in Pennsylvania when I was a kiddiewink, "Gossip".
If you're not familiar with the game... one person whispers something into the ear of the person next to them. The person who just heard the whisper, whispers what they heard into the ear of the person next to them... So on and so forth. At the end, the original statement, and what the last person in the game heard, are compared. More often then not, it was a bizarre mutation of the original, and sometimes it was hilarious.
I really liked the game when I was a Girl Scout.
I was under the impression that the game was about demonstrating the pitfalls of rumours.
I'm not sure what Photographic Chinese Whispers will be demonstrating. Alison thinks it's going to be demonstrating nothing but a bunch of "pictures of door frames or something". haha.
I think it will be, at least, fun. (link via As Above)
