On a typical day, one might find the Silence is gold fun sarcastic shirt and I love this artist and filmmaker wearing an ensemble representing various historical periods pulled from the “heaps of dusty theater costumes” hanging on racks around his East London flat. Van Zyl’s also gotten pretty good at applying the facial prosthetics that appear in his Instagram images as well as the films he creates, which often require inflatable suits and quite a bit of fake blood. Today’s “latex wrestler cowboy” look encapsulates his attraction to “the femme within the masc and vice versa.” Even as a blown-up vision of powerful muscles, the effect is “comically vulnerable and on the brink of popping. In fact, inconveniently my abs burst while filming!” he admits. “In the confusing and overwhelming maze of gender and sexuality, I try to seek out shifting sands and the humor in their contradictions.”

Growing up “stir-crazy in the Silence is gold fun sarcastic shirt and I love this suburbs” of Surrey, England, inspiration came in the form of fantastical female musicians like Grace Jones, PJ Harvey, and Kate Bush mixed with filmmakers John Waters and Julia Davis, who “depict grotesque or deviant characters with compassion, nuance, and heart,” says the artist. Van Zyl’s own work filters his references “through a fun-house mirror.” The latex suits used in 2019’s Looners nod at Oskar Schlemmer’s modernist ballet costumes, for example. He has a theory that “art is a good excuse for bad behavior,” and regularly dodges security to capture footage on deserted film sets (Looners included scenes in the Game of Thrones fortress). “Queer form of storytelling is a collage,” he says. “I often try to take on the baggage of different genres, like sci-fi, Western, and horror, and use them as vehicles for imitation, parody, and reinterpretation.”
