Le principe d'équivalence appliqué à la creation permanente de l'univers / the principle of equivalence applied to the permanent creation of the universe / das Prinzip der Gleichwertigkeit, angewandt auf die fordauernde Schöpfung des Universums . '. (Filliou's tri-lingual explanation of his aims). On January 17th 1973, with the idea of uniting people of all times, Filliou celebrated the 1,000,010th Anniversary of Art at the Neue Galerie der Stadt in Aachen: 'Art must return to the people to which it belongs'. As 10 years had gone by since Filliou had begun his 'Histoire Chuchotée de l'Art' (Whispered History of Art), 1,000,010 years corresponded to the arbitrary date of Man's appearance on Earth. The artist was working on the search for the origin and proposed a new concept, 'The Prebiological Genius'. In 1974, he produced 'Recherche sur l'Origine', a work made of cloth 90 metres long and 3 metres high, inside which the spectator could walk around. The work, profoundly conceptual in nature, alludes to history, mathematics, art, philosophy and physics and posits a geometrical progression as to whether 'any thought, any concept, any birth, any growth, etc.' is 'well made, or badly made, or not made'. To illustrate the concepts involved, 'each element of Research on the Origin is presented 3 times' as in the previous formal iterations, the progression developing from the creation of newer iterations, i.e. 'since it [the Well-made iteration] now exists [it] is considered as a whole and becomes Well Made to which a new Badly Made and a New Not Made must be added'. This edition, produced by the Düsseldorf Kunsthalle, reproduces and reduces that scroll, now made of paper, to 8.42 metres in length. A booklet of printed text with an introduction by Jürgen Harten elucidates Filliou's concepts further with quotations from Lao Tzu, Watson and Crick, various journals of astrophysics, Darwin and Schiller and so on.
