Mandala Francisco: Artist, Musician, Filmmaker, and Poet
Meet Mandala. She’s the kind of person we like to find here at the Nonsense Society. She told me that she can never be limited to one art form. I feel the same way! Art, music, film, and word are all connected. I wanted to recognize Mandala for her creativity that seems to have no bounds. Thanks Mandala!

In Between Closed and Open
Branches blowing in the wind.
Shadows in my bedroom corner.
The door left slightly open,
undecided,
in between closed and open.
Temporary.
I never close it all the way,
it is always left ajar,
open for suggestion,
for change.
Just because it’s a door,
does that mean it needs to be one or the other?
Should I just close it?
Now I feel alone.
It’s too quiet.
It’s just these four walls and me-
Lying here in the silence.
The only sound of my sighs,
and racing thoughts.
But can one really be alone?
Is that an illusion?
A fear, a word, a feeling.
I begin to sing,
my voice vibrates inside my chest,
flies past my lips,
and whooshes around the room.
It rings,
and echo back to me,
as if to prove,
I am not really alone.
An Interview With Yoann Lemoine
I recently interviewed filmmaker/director/photographer Yoann Lemoine. Prior to 2004 Yoann studied animation, illustration, and screen-printing. After illustrating children’s books he went on to direct television commercials and music videos. Below you can watch the music video to Moby’s new single “Mistake” from the album Wait For Me, directed by Yoann Lemoine. He lives in Paris and New York, directing films, animating, illustrating, printing, sculpting, knitting, and making collages. Yoann describes his work as follows: “I could say my creations are related to subjects such as childhood, absence, nostalgia, sexuality, fashion, symbolism, and of course that patchwork, that collision between different worlds and techniques, which is what I’m made from, I guess.”
