PARALLEL VIENNA

7 - 12 September 2021

Beach Resort Tiberio (or TIBE BEACH) is a fictional resort created by the artist Philip Mueller, where the characters of Mueller’s gang, the hedonists Black Flamingo Sad Boys take refuge and live a high life, away from their usual Alpine environment. The location is based on the deserted prison-island near Capri, called Santo Stefano, where Giulia the daughter of Augustus was on exile. The name of this “anti-resort” Eden, comes from the emperor Tiberio who spent the last six years of his power on Capri.

 

The prison is surrounded by a fictional roundcourse called AUTODROMO di CASTEL D’ORO on which the TIBE RACING TEAM is driving special cars 24/7 to fasten up the waste of the oil reserves of our planet.

 

“Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure.They alone point out what we ought to do and determine what we shall do”
— Jeremy Bentham

 

Mueller painted several of those racing cars in between the last three years, now the Jaguar XJS is the first real life TIBE RACING CAR. The car is an outdoor sculpture, placed at the entrance of PARALLEL VIENNA.
