Room reflects on how systems of labor and productivity neutralize violence, channeling rage into safe, regulated forms that defuse its political power. Drawing inspiration from 'rage rooms'—commercial spaces where participants pay to destroy objects in confined settings designed to offer catharsis—the work consists of a wooden set filled with paper replicas of familiar objects, created through a process of 3D modeling and papercraft techniques.

Accompanying the installation, the video Nous briserons aussi les cisailles et les fenêtres juxtaposes the destruction of these 3D-modeled objects with lyrics from an 18th-century Luddite protest song. The architecture reflects a space where everything is built to break, yet nothing is ever truly destroyed.
