Artwork text

A film about a five-day seminar, where top managers learn “how to sell yourself better.” The manager course teaches the basic rules of dialec-tics and rhetoric, training body language, gestures and mimicry. Selling something has always been the principle of any mercantile activity. The combination of psychology and modern capitalism have perfected the idea of offering oneself for sale. (Lutz Hachmeister)
