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.

Don't Call It A Comeback....

Post date Sat 3 Apr 2010 9:29 PM

 

Dear Readers, I see U're still here despite poor update frequency lately, glad for that! There is a lot going on and both on a professional AND a personal level. So what up?

We'll try to make the 2FACED1-part as recurring as we planned from the beginning. Next week you'll have the 3rd 2FACED1 up, who's a character in a double sense.... Number 4 and 5 is already shot and coming up short after. I know that not all people out there understands what 2faced1 is about, but they will.

As some of you now I'm also currently working with ROBYN, and we'll see exactly what that collabo will end up in, in the near future, we're still sketching one can say. You can see a bit of what we do over at SVT Play (in swedish! Jag rekommenderar att ni kollar på detta, intressant program över lag), they followed ROBYN during a week, and they hooked up with us while dancing. Ouf girl is heavy loaded this time around too, you've heard "Fembot" and "Dancehall Queen" and that's just the beginning. I'm just saying "Dancing On My Own"...I been doing ruff choreographic sketches (staging) to this one and I got so into the emotion, that it brought tears to my eyes....!!! Pure popmusic at it's best!
