With a Wink of the Solar Eye: Revisiting the Performance Life & Strive
Öz
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.
