In this quartet, I addressed the issue of fracture as an energy catalyst. By constantly interrupting discourse, by cutting off flow of movement, I imagined different strategies making it possible to channel explosions of energy, playing between moments where impacts generate a transformation of energetic flow and moments where contrasts and divisions lead to stasis — between shocks which modify and shocks which divide.
