Carla Zimbler bends light across architecture and soaks sculptural forms in vivid textures as a live performative experience, and meditation on existence. Carla seeks to build conduits and connective passageways between physical x spiritual boundaries through hypnotic colour and transformative symbolism. As a gateway to the otherworldly and the afterlife, Carla's multimodal installations examine ephemerality, altered states of being and extrasensory perception. Audiences are drawn into immersive, luminous spaces where non-human forms endlessly expand, exhale and dissolve. The intimate, experiential world-building elements of her practice ebb and flow between the familiar and uncanny, navigating anthropomorphic phenomena in a lucid dream-like state.
Carla’s visual work and installation practice has been featured at Sydney Opera House, National Gallery of Australia, Arts House, Melbourne Recital Centre, VIVID Sydney, ACMI, Reykjavík Winter Lights Festival, Distortion Ø, Pitch Festival and Phoenix Central Park. Carla has been associated with The Centre for Projection Art, MESS Studio, SÍM Residency, The Australian Pavilion at Venice Biennale, World Pride Sydney and LungA Art Festival. Past creative affiliations also include Apple, Adobe, Mixcloud x W-Hotel, Red Bull and Bar Campari at Sydney Biennale.
