Recherche sur l’origine 1974. Robert Filliou

It’s been 50 years since Robert Filliou produced the piece Recherche sur l’origine between Berlin and Düsseldorf, which, in conjunction with Principe d’équivalence and Le Poïpoïdrome, is the artist’s most emblematic triad. It is a monumental textile work of almost 84 meters long by 2.71 meters high, covered with inscriptions, symbols and drawings from the sciences, religions and myths where he claims a parallelism between universal creation and human creation processes.
