Hailing from the cultural realm of India, the mandala signifies in
its original sense a sacred circle. It serves as a meditation aid
and at the same time reflects an ancient symbolism of strictly
geometric basic forms accompanied by an interpretation of its
sacred content. As an expression of the awareness of higher
affinities, the symmetrically arranged geometry can be found in a
variety of pictorial works and the architecture of various epochs
and cultural realms, for example in medieval book illumination, the
floor plan of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, in Kazimir Malevich's
Black Square, or in various objects of the indigenous peoples of
Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. Based on these and other
masterpieces from renowned museums and private collections and
illustrated in fascinating photographs of unique buildings and
rituals, this publication offers an impressive first analysis of
the phenomenon of sacred geometry in art and architecture and their
underlying ideologies. Text in German.
