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.

What Great Pop Music Sounds Like

Post date Thu 15 Sep 2011 10:43 AM

Starting today, at Albert & Victoria Museum in London, is the exhibition: The House Of Annie Lennox . This 2FACED1 favorite and stylosopher who has been seen on the blog before, is worthy every inch of that exhibition. With Annies's full throttle soul diva voice and songs with melodies to die for, add lyrics with substance, Eurythmics always summed up what great pop music is about and still can be about.

And for the people that got blissed out over GAGA as a man on VMA's, well it's been done before, of course by this Annie, back in 1984 (I still appreciate Gaga did it in the way that more female mainstream acts should stop bother about the good looks all the time...).

A personal note: It could have been my beloved cousin Linda or if it was my neighbour Karin's daddy Bertil who provided me with a copied tape of the REVENGE album (Robyn looks a little bit like Annie on this cover doesn't she?). This is before I've even started school. I remember having mom and dad, who's newer really been into music, playing the tape over and over again in our car. Most magnetic at this point in my young life was Thorn In My Side togheter with Take Your Pain Away. I still know the order of the songs by heart. Once you get quality you never go back lixom.

I love the Eurythmics. Funny, even as a teenager I never thought that she looked like a guy or was weird. I always appreciated her style and musical ability. Maybe that is why I am a fan of Robyn ha ha!
