In RL___0 we take a careful look at – or rather a careful listen to – the origins of the universe. Based on the phenomenon that sound becomes quieter but never disappears entirely, in the installation we speculate how the past might have sounded. Inspired by the controversial research of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centers, by means of which an echo of the big bang is said to have been recorded, we explore the fascination for the origins of the universe and the fact that there still is no complete explanation for the creation of the cosmos.
