Photographs, renders and sculptural elements blur reality and digital fabrication through subtle visual friction. - Author: Catapult Submissions Team - Tags: Exhibition --- #### On this page ## Carlo Zappella – The Seamless Switch ### Exhibition Information **The Seamless Switch** **Artist:** [Carlo Zappella](https://carlozappella.com/?ref=catapult-platform.art) **Venue:** [Stadtgalerie - Raumimpuls](https://raumimpuls.at/die-stadtgalerie?ref=catapult-platform.art) Waidhofen an der Ybbs, Austria **Dates:** 20.02.–22.03.2026 --- Images courtesy of the artist and Stadtgalerie - Raumimpuls Bio written by Klaus Speidel ## Carlo Zappella – The Seamless Switch The exhibition unfolds like a quiet construction site of images. Large photographic prints of suburban houses and artificial landscapes hang alongside sculptural elements that resemble props, transport crates, or fragments of stage design. The space feels both familiar and strangely provisional, as if the viewer had entered the backstage area of an image before it becomes believable. At the center of [***Carlo Zappella’s practice***](https://carlozappella.com/?ref=catapult-platform.art) is the subtle instability between photographed reality and digitally generated space. Several works exist in parallel versions, once as photographs of carefully built paper models and once as rendered simulations of the same scenes. ![carlos zappalla, artist , exhibiton view two digital pigment prints, called London and starter house - model scape 3d digital rendered version ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1c/24/1c2478ff-417d-4e88-8226-288af467f6b9/content/images/2026/03/carlo-zappella.webp) ****Carlo Zappalla**: Exhibition view, **The Seamless Switch*, Stadtgalerie Raumimpuls: (left) **London House (Rendered Version)*, 2025; (right) **Starter House (Photo Version)*, 2025 Image courtesy of the artist. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1c/24/1c2478ff-417d-4e88-8226-288af467f6b9/content/images/2026/03/carlo-zappella--artwork.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1c/24/1c2478ff-417d-4e88-8226-288af467f6b9/content/images/2026/03/carlo-zappella-1.webp) ****Carlo Zappalla:** (left) **Beach Art Crate*, 2026, Pine, MDF, Paint, Nylon, Inkjet, Steel; (right) **VFX Art Crate*, 2026, Pine, MDF, Paint, Nylon, Inkjet, Steel.

Image courtesy of the artist. The viewer moves through a sequence of images where the distinction between documentation and fabrication gradually dissolves. This logic echoes the exhibition’s title: the “seamless switch,” a term borrowed from visual effects describing the invisible transition between filmed material and digital doubles. Across the gallery, sculptural objects extend this logic into the room itself. Transport crates, artificial bushes and small architectural fragments appear like props that have escaped from the images. The exhibition ultimately operates less as a display of finished works than as a spatial demonstration of image production, where the illusion of realism slowly reveals its own mechanisms.

In the summer of 2025, he received his diploma from Gabriele Rothemann. His focus is on the artistic process itself and the examination of perception and reality. His works combine various media, including photography, 3D rendering, sculpture, and video, and are intended to encourage reflection on the self within a broader context..
