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 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.

From The Vaults: Original 2FACED1s-Neneh

Post date Sun 1 Aug 2010 6:19 PM

This photo is from one of my old SLITZ Magazines anno 1992 ( back when Slitz was a music magazine). Dirty Flights on Nenehs feet - just the way we like them!

Swedens finest, with the same birthname as my mother. I will say it again: made us get up, get out there to catch that innercity life. Did a google-run-through and found some newer images from the 90ies period, that aren't totally killed as references yet. Enjoy!

Underrated song from the same period, Buddy X. It was said, the song was written about no other than Neneh's friend, Lenny Kravitz, and his separation from Lisa Bonet. The video is actually directed by one of my favorite directors (and photographers) Jean Baptiste Mondino, the man behind Justify My Love, Human Nature and Open Your Heart and I Got You Under My Skin,. Mr Mondino also did a lot with Jean Paul Gaultier at the time!
