Crystal invites the spectator to reflect upon its position as a viewer, observer and consumer. Borrowing aesthetics from the advertisement industry, the piece attempts to displace marketing logics in order to give space for uncanny, humorous and/or ambiguous associations to emerge. Subject and object colloid into one choreographic equation to subvert unidirectional and normative appliances of power. Performative actions become possible transactions for the yet-unknown interactions.
