everything has a (design(at)ed) status and an identity—however it always remains (inter/ex)changeable. 

an object is designed for a certain identity, or it can shape the way one wants to be perceived—i.e. decide on one’s status. 

objects are tied with latent potentials which can be activated by certain acts of (mis)usage.

a switch in the idea of the planned outcome—a deviation from the intended usage of an object thus translates a strategy into a tactic and vice versa. 

if strategy means duration—tactic stands for (immediate) action.  

a change in material, words, and/or composition equals an inevitable change in status.

well, well, well. 

how the turntables…

within a change comes a translation—latent potentials become active players inside of a disposition. 

like Tia Dalma’s Compass in Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ring in Lord of the Rings, or The Holy Grail in Indiana Jones. 

the object can either permit its user with a sense of leverage or get oneself dethroned. 

the user has a status, which the object helps to establish

the establishment comes with a ready-made identity. 

the identity of the actor decides the status of the object itself. 

how the tables have turned.
