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.
2FACED1 is a state of mind, 2FACED1.com is a display-window for that mindset and the network of 2FACED1 includes all of you progressive, non-stereotypes with a double perspective on identity.

THE BIG HOMEY GIOVANNI MARKS (BRIEFCASE ROCKER AND KING OF CREV) WROTE THIS ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVOURITE R&B GROUPS OF ALLL TIME ON HIS BLOG A WHILE AGO...AN ODE TO JODECI...I THOUGHT TO EXTEND THE TRIBUTE. ENJOY!
***********************************************
LOOK AT THESE DUDES!!!!
what says R&B to you looking at this picture?!? one dude has a fucking hydro shirt on! these dudes look like they sell weed in Lancaster, California and the second one looks like he does interracial porn. these dudes are certified bad asses, straight up from firing Puffy and choosing Suge knight as your manager to pulling machine guns on girls at the house because they wouldn’t give up the genitalia and they weren’t impressed by Devante’s ammo dump. if I was a girl, I would stay away from you maniacs too, you look like 4 hobgoblins…..
they made some of the best R&B, gave you Timbaland, Missy and Ginuwine and created a weird sub-genre that Snoop coined this year as rhythm and gangsta or some equally foolish shit. fuck it, look at this insane shit and make whatever decision you want. people are quick to yell “crack” every time a black dude does weird shit but there are other CIA driven drugs to make you do this type of shit, you racist bastards.
