A peep show box. This is one way to present it.
And another would be to create an ornate box — but definitely only one viewer at a time?

Different note here, but this is one way that an interactive/performance/personal piece is ‘sold’:
23/07/2013: Sarah Rodigari has developed a new performance work, Act Natural, for the group exhibition, JANIS II. Rodigari’s performances reside in a continuing redefinition of the relationship between artist and audience, calling into question the limits of artistic practice. These limits enable her to explore key themes of vulnerability and absence and presence pertaining to authorship. JANIS II is a two-venue exhibition held jointly at The Commercial and MCLEMOI Gallery in Chippendale, curated by Kelly Doley and Amanda Rowell. Act Natural will be presented at the exhibition opening at MCLEMOI Gallery on Friday 26 July between 6 and 9pm. Act Natural requires only one viewer at a time. It is an editioned performance work. Viewers are invited to purchase in advance of the night one of the 18 editions of the live artwork that is Act Natural. Each edition is approximately 10 minutes in duration. While the work is editioned, each experience is unique in its one-on-one encounter. It will be distinctly memorable in the moment and in the future. Each edition is $ 250.00 (incl. GST). To purchase an edition of Act Natural, please contact The Commercial or MCLEMOI Gallery.
