Jenkin van Zyl presents new short film, Last Dance (2023) from the inside of a limousine parked outside FACT.
Jenkin van Zyl’s work explores ideas of productivity, escapism, and community. On display from 20 October 2023 – 28 January 2024, Surrender (2023) immerses us in Jenkin’s hallucinatory film world, centered around a gruelling endurance dance marathon and the cryptid lore of the ‘rat king.’ Spreading across FACT’s ground-floor galleries, Jenkin transforms these spaces into immersive environments, from a dance floor inside the belly of a rat to a trophy room lined with energy drinks.
For one night only, the installation extends beyond FACT, into the limousine that endlessly returns the film’s protagonist, GRACE, to the exhaustive competition at the P.E.E.P. Hotel. Find the limousine parked at the rear of the building and take a seat inside to discover a new short film that expands Jenkin’s psychotropic world.
