TANGENTIAL MYTHS
Tangential Myths is an art project that revisits mythology, religion and legend from a contemporary perspective. Rather than reproducing established narratives, the project approaches them obliquely, exploring how familiar stories and historical events can acquire new meanings through reinterpretation. The title refers to the geometric principle of tangency: a line touches a form without changing it. Lubinska-Felix applies this idea to inherited narratives, bringing classical imagery into dialogue with contemporary perspectives and digital visual languages. Developed in Vienna in 2012, the project combines architectural methods with experimental drawing. Each work emerges through a layered process involving engineering CADplatform software, pen on paper, scanning and successive digital compositions, sometimes incorporating around 40 layers. The resulting image is thermally bonded to contemporary cardboard. Each work is presented in a thin metallic frame finished using Structural Colour Painting (SCP), a technique involving the application and diffusion of pigment particles across the metal surface. Image, support and frame form an integrated construction, making each artwork an engineered object as well as an image.
The project received its Swiss premiere at Art Montreux Biennale in November 2018.
