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.

Sneak Peak of the upcoming 2FACED1!

Post date Fri 9 Sep 2011 11:01 AM

NÖJESGUIDEN's new Fashion Editor Sanna Samuelsson stopped by the office in August and had an chat with me about the upcoming re-release of 2FACED1 2.0.  (yeah it's on it's waaaay!). and we gave a sneak preview of the upcoming 2FACED1-person we'll be presenting: Alex Darbo. Swedes can read the full article here, and Alex as you can see is very stoked over this! (The headline should of course be "De sterotypofobas hemvist".) Here follows a small part of it translated to English:

"House of the Stereotypophobes"

N: Sometimes one can be jealous over how many white middle- class guys never has been obligated to be aware how how other people sees them...
D:That's part of the problem. Many of them are saying" yeah, but I'm never thinking about how other people look at me" , which makes you want to answer " but why don't you think you doesn't do that?". They just don't need to. BUT there are a bunch of white middle class dudes that are 2FACED1s too! Those who took a step out of their comfort zone and refused to fulfill the idea of "the white man". It's the journey to something new that makes you a 2FACED1 - not your starting point.
N: It's a good thing that the inflicted self-awareness could be looked upon as a benefit...
D: That's the future! How prosperous can one really become without caring about other people? It won't work in the long run, and with the Internet the society becomes more transparent too. You better clean up your act!

Enough talking now, all 2FACED1s let's get to work and get this site + collective going on! If you think you should be a part of the team see this -> 2FACED1 NEEDS YOU (Esp London assistants needed, new project in London is coming up in October/November)
