Özet: In 2010 Anat Eisenberg and Mirko Winkel conducted the performance work “LIFE & STRIVE” in one of İstanbul’s most luxurious high rise residencies. The participants were invited to face a real-estate investment from the buyers perspective; they joined tours to the “Sapphire” that were guided by professional salesmen, in front of whom they posed as a group of wealthy and potential buyers, while the artists took on the role of their agents. The work treated the sales experience as a performative exchange and invited the participants to enjoy the deception in which they were complicit. The article describes the development process of this performance work and reflects on the experiences.
