Abstract
2010 yılında Anat Eisenberg ve Mirko Winkel
İstanbul’un en lüks güvenlikli gökdelen rezidanslarından birinde LIFE &
STRIVE isimli bir performans çalışması gerçekleştirdiler. Performans
çalışmasında yer alan katılımcılar bu yeni konut alanlarını bir alıcının
gözünden deneyimleceklerdi. Katılımcılar, varlıklı potansiyel alıcılar rolünü
oynadılar ve bu kimlikleri ile profesyonel satıcıların rehberliğinde “Sapphire”
turlarına katıldılar. Bu arada, artistler de bu potansiyel zengin alıcıların
temsilcileri rolünü üstlendiler. Performans çalışması satış deneyimini
performatif bir değişim olarak değerlendirdi ve katılımcıları suç ortağı
oldukları bu aldatmacanın keyfini çıkarmaya davet etti. Bu makale söz konusu
performans çalışmasını anlatmakta ve deneyimleri irdelemektedir.

Abstract
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.
