The title of Heikedine Günther’s Platonic Bodies series is inevitably an allusion to Platonic love. Platonic love in ancient Greek philosopher Plato’s sense, means directing love towards the path of intellectual exchange. This component exceeds the materiality of the Platonic Bodies series and creates a link between them. It is the immaterial bond that can break through all earthly laws in its power. The power of love thereby works in the entirety of the matter itself. The core encourages a closer look at the structures around us, and to involve in contemplation with their deep histories.
