A story where fact meets fiction, by Boris O. Dittrich

For Jehoshua Rozenman, his Out of the Box project is like a strange suitcase he has found in the basement of his studio. In his mind, he forces the locks and finds inside a whole range of mysterious old magazines, black-and-white photographs, blueprints of buildings, drawings and picture postcards. The wide range of items in this unfamiliar archive has provided an inexhaustible supply of inspiration for his work. 

This story, specially written for this exhibition, explores the concept of the suitcase in more depth. Artist Jehoshua Rozenman and writer Boris O. Dittrich challenge you to engage in a dialogue with your own expectations. What do you think the suitcase contains? Is it fact or fiction?
