Sun & Ekphanestaton
■ And in this part of his work, in the chapter "Sun and Ekphanestaton", he focuses on the Sun,
which is a physical manifestation of the concepts of brightness, visibility, and curvature that I
mentioned earlier. For the sun; He is referring to the greatest and most historical representative
of visibility, radiance and existence. And especially it talks about being the purest representative
of gifting culture. And from this point on, he tries to explain these concepts by emphasizing the
concept of "Gifting Culture" and emphasizing gifting culture - Ancient Greek culture. Because in
the ancient Greek culture, radiance, sublimity and elegance were related to the sun and divinity.

of the sun.
Sun & Ekphanestaton
■ First, a slide ago I explained the relationship between Günei and the act of giving, grace, that
Spuybroek mentioned. In this part, I would like to mention the concepts of "gifting culture" and
"Ekphanestaton" which are related to beauty. Marcel Mauss mentions that the "gifting circle" has
three stages: giving, receiving and returning. It speaks of the received, the given and the cyclical
form of this. And he associates these concepts with 3 goddesses, Thalia- Agalea- Euphrosyne in
Greek mythology.The goddess Aglaea stands for the stage of giving, Euphrosyne for receiving and
Thalia for returning. Here he talks about Ekphanestaton and the concepts of beauty. He talks
about the concepts of beauty and grace, let's be together, that the concept of elegance is an
operational form of beauty. Spuybroek mentions that the relationship of Gift Culture - 3
goddesses and grace. He also talks about the fact that giving is operatively sublime, graceful and
beautiful, and that the sun is also the pure representative of this sublime gifting circle, that is,
beauty.
Lightning and Epiphany
Lightning is the icon of the
linear model, the sun that
of the cyclical model.
Lightning, however, is consistently white, invariably strikes from above and always breaks through the
darkness (even in daytime when storm clouds have gathered), by turning the invisible visible in a flash.
Lightning and Epiphany
■ In this section, he refers to the story of Zeus and his attack on his son Apollo with lightning, and
he deals with lightning. He examines the linear progression of the lightning with the arrow of
Apollo and the round shape of the Sun through the previously mentioned discussions of round-
gift culture-elegance and beauty. And he discusses the aggressive and sudden appearance of
lightning and the Sun's illumination with a longer and circular form, that is, with an inner
radiance, over the concepts I have just mentioned.
Lightning and Epiphany But, the circle is not just about limiting the extremes, which it
does at its periphery.

Circularity, in contrast, combines such a
vertical axis with a second axis A straight line can decrease or increase a value, but only by
perpendicular to it, which has values going in opposite directions on the same line; a curve (in our
that vary between close and far. specific case of the cycle, a circle) can decrease and
increase values simultaneously.
Lightning and Epiphany
■ Afterwards, he discusses the concepts of straight line and curvature through the Lightning and
the Sun. A straight line can decrease or increase a value, but only by going in opposite directions
on the same line; He says that a curve (a circle or a circle) can be decreased and increased at
the same time. If you increase one value while decreasing the other, the line bends downward
and conversely, when you increase both values, it bends upward. And he argues that by lowering
the initial value and again decreasing or increasing the other, causing a curvature up or down
respectively, the whole process can be repeated.
