This installation draws its inspiration from "rage rooms," commercial spaces that emerged in the late 2000s where participants pay to destroy objects in confined settings designed for catharsis. These spaces are explored as archetypes of gamified work experiences, places visited when the "rage meter" is full. The installation features a wooden set filled with paper replicas of familiar objects, crafted 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.
