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, nationality, gender, sexuality 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. It means you have the feet in different worlds, can move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and have become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

Amelian

Post date Thu 9 Jun 2011 6:03 PM

Does AMELIAN KASHIRO seem familiar? Yes you've seen her on the blog before (but I didn't know her back then!). I hooked up with Amelian in L.A. just on an impulse, after the briefest twitter contact, I just knew she was a regualar 2FACED1 reader and knew Jeremy Scott. And my gut feeling was right, the girl is a 2FACED1 to the bone! It's first and foremost a mindset every progressive person has and not really about your ethnic roots, it's your journey that is important. But on the other hand it's pretty hard to NOT become one if you have a background like Amelian, her father is from OAKLAND and her mother is from JAPAN, she's brought up in ALASKA but moved to LAS VEGAS and now lives in L.A. You get it! The funny thing I realized after hanging out with her is that she's pretty....hold on - Swedish! I think JAPAN+OAKLAND/USA actually = SWEDEN! That must be the reason I started schooling her in 2FACED1's such MONICA Z, NENEH CHERRY and MAPEI! I just had to give her a 2FACED1&WeSC- tee!
