Gaspar Noe is known for exploring what lies under the surface through the darker side of human experience and psychology. He has been called a genius and a provocateur and the intensity of his films leaves his audiences with mixed emotions – many are enthusiastic or surprised, others anxious or confused. With sincere openness, the accomplished Buenos Aires-born auteur speaks to Sophie Caby about the relationship between the body and mind. Portrait by P.J. van Sandwijk.
The new issue is themed “head piece” and is centered around what goes on inside and outside the head. For the cover story, Yu Tsai shot and interviewed Jared Leto in L.A. Sophie Caby met up with director Gaspar Noe in Paris, Maria Ben Saad talked to Caroline Evans about her new book on the first fashion shows, Ann-Sofie Back headed out to the shooting range with a couple of female cops from the Stockholm police force and Tom Greenwood tracked down whatever happened to the harpsichord. The rest of the issue is filled with fiction, neuro science, fetishism, food, quantum mechanics, art and pictures from close to seventy contributors.

Yuka Honda is a beautiful woman and a music genius. She lives in Manhattan, her work is melancholic and hopeless, yet optimistic and refreshing. She has collaborated with such artists as Sean Lennon, The Beastie boys, Michel Gondry, John Zorn or Dougie Bowne. Even though the list easily gets endless, she found the time in 1994 to form Cibo Matto. Honda is the kind of creature that deeply influences humans and elevates people to the highest state. She whispers wisdom and insinuates strength in the most relevant manner. She has an uncanny way of understanding people’s dreams. She is hypnotizing. Her smell is like lavender after a silly rain and her movements are lunar and childish. Her penetrating gaze could seem malicious, was it not so disarming and all the while dressing in purple like a velvet rainbow. Editor Sophie Caby went deep under cover, in order to bring us the details, she lived with Yuka Honda for a year.

It is only when they are reunited that you can see their great differences through the resemblance. Editor Sophie Caby asked 3 ingenious questions where the lads answered with an endearing sensitivity and consistent humor.
