"The main project was a performance installation based around the restorative qualities of a Cafe Direct cup of coffee. '5065 Fancy a Lift?' was, well, a working lift in the street, in which the performance artist Alexej Merkuchev went through a ten-minute rebirthing routine in front of an audience.
The sponsorship worked because it was so unintrusive within the performance, but had a real relevance. The whole event was signposted by a giant poster, which was completely unmissable."
