a zine about Platonic solids and my favourite shape, the dodecahedron
the zine can be printed and cut out to form a dodecahedron. this one was printed on Robert Fludd’s 1617 segment of the macrocosm showing the elemental spheres of terra (earth), aqua (water), aer (air), and ignis (fire), de musica mundana, and assembled so that the word content is inside the shape. it can also be constructed with the words outside, and rolled like a die, to read each page in a random order.
“I am the number of fingers on a hand. I make pentagons and pentagrams. and but for me dodecahedra could not exist; and, as everyone knows, the universe is a dodecahedron. So, but for me, there could be no universe.”
the number 5 in Bertrand Russell’s 1954 short story,
“the mathematician’s nightmare: the vision of professor squarepunt”
