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.

I was all bizzy in LA when this one came out, and never had the time to post it. Better late then never. Like never would have been an option?! This is revolutionary music right here. And you know revolution don't look like you think it will look. Never. If it would it wouldn't be revulotionary. The most important line in this whole song; THE HOOD IS A LIE. The hood, the ghetto, the favela, the township, yes even förorten is a lie. The whole construction of only two existing poles where the hood is one - is a part of the system keeping people seperated, staying separeted. The [construction of a] hood has it's own mechanisms of keeping people in check. When you speak in dichotomizing ways you are a part of the problem, you are paying homage to the system feeding the idea of the hood. DON'T.

We live in between, don't let them categorize us. #2FACED1
