about 2faced1.com

2FACED1.com shows one persons two different faces in photos;

Persona 1:
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

Persona 2:
WHAT YOU FEAR TO BE
CONSIDERED AS

This leads to a discussion about stereotypes and inner fears of getting misunderstood by the surroundings. Thoughts that every thinking modern day person does reflect upon. We're asking every day people from an innercity context where old categories as ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class are reassessed, why they choose to look like they do. We’re diggin' deep, peeling off garments, codes and attributes. We’re searching for transnational identities - is the conclusion that we choose whoever we want to be today?!

 

A 2FACED1 STATE OF MIND

A 2FACED1 is highly aware of existing stereotypes related to your own ethnicity, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation and class. You’re trying to avoid them but sometimes also play with them to make people think twice about who you are. Two faced doesn’t mean anything negative here, it explains the double folded view you have on identity if you’re not the existing norm. Self awareness is a gift, because it also helps you to understand other peoples situations better. To be a 2FACED1 is to have the feet in different worlds, be able to move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and has become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

Pearls, diamonds and Lil B

Post date Fri 20 Apr 2012 3:46 PM

Many of you who has stayed up to date on the web have surely heard about the rapper Lil B, he is the #BASEDGOD and the #1BITCH. It’s kind of hard figuring out what he is, but post-Lil wayne deconstructionist meets Paris Hilton 2008 tackiness is a good way of describing him. He kills stereotypes of how a rapper should be; he named his album “I’m Gay” to support the LGBT-community meaning he’s not a homophobe and he wears proper womens jewelry, pearls and diamonds. (I would kill for his earrings!)

Image by me

His latest upgrade to his jewerly game is a bindi. It just makes me wonder if he really is that IDGAF person or if he really thinks about every single move (and sits Tumbling all day). All of his moves seem to be too smart to just be spontaneous stupid shit. The bindi was worn by the new age kids in the 90’ies and is now worn by mostly the indie fäshion mobs, tumblr-kids and if I get ahold of one, me! I wonder if the tuggare would let me get away with it... Maybe why he gets away with it is simply because of his tattooed and muscular body and the fact that he raps. Lil B is a mystery we might never solve. But what I know is that he sure is funny and smart, and has the greatest jewelry game PERIOD.
