What happens when personal belongings leave their original context and are handed over to strangers for free artistic treatment?
For the cooperation project „Das, was drin war…“, the class of Nasan Tur at the HBK Braunschweig and the Seminar Ausstellungspraxis of the HBKsaar, led by Leonore Leonardy, initially made contact exclusively by post. Both groups each filled a box with objects from the students' lives that hold personal meaning for them. Without names or further explanations, the boxes were sent to the respective other university.
What meaning the objects once had and what reactions they provoked when unpacked remained unknown to both sides.
