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, color, nationality, gender, sexual orientation 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. Self awareness is a gift, because it also helps you to understand other peoples situations better. To be a 2FACED1 is to have the feet in different worlds, be able to move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and has become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

d is for depression

Post date Sun 6 Nov 2011 4:10 AM

(poached from El Hieroglyph by way of 4 other people, I would wear this to my wedding.)

emo...dear diary

This should be the happiest month of my life. All the work i have been doing over the last year has culminated with a new album being finished and the record label ever soe gracefuly furbiushing us with a release date...i am making the best work i have ever done...on top of that,  (and i say this with the most humility) i have become a third of a badass production crew...

but all feels lost and confused...johannesburg is depressing me, i lost my fone in cape town last night. i haven't been home in almost two months....urgh

And in this pit of dispair, where do i turn, my beloved Zombo...zombo baby.
