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.

I HAVEN'T BEEN GIVING MUCH LOVE TO SOUTH AFRICAN RAP FOR A LONG TIME...MOSTLY FINDING IT TO BE PRETTY PLAIN AND BORING...LACKING IN FINESSE, STYLE AND ORIGINALITY...JUST LACKING! AND EVEN IN CASES WHERE I LIKE ARTISTS...IT'S NEVER TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD LISTEN TO THEIR TRACKS LET ALONE THEIR ALBUMS/MIXTAPES...A LOT OF YAP YAP YAP. GIVE ME A HOUSE RECORD ANYDAY.

THIS BEING SAID, I WAS FIRST IN LINE, WHEN I HEARD THAT PROKID WAS PLAYING AT DJ KENZHERO'S *PARTY PEOPLE* SHOWCASE IN CAPE TOWN (PROBABLY THE FUNNEST NIGHT I HAD WHILST IN SA).

PRO PLAYED A MIXED BAG OF OLD BORING FREESTYLES OVER AMERICAN RAP BEATS AND (THE BEST PART) HIS SPECIAL FLAVOUR OVER RE-EDITS OF 80S SOUTH AFRICAN DISCO/BUBBLEGUM HITS (ALL MIXED AD CHOPPED BY DJ KENZHERO)...AN IDEA THAT HAS BEEN FLOATING AROUND THE HEADS OF MANY A HIPHOP HEAD I AM SURE...BUT NO ONE HAS HAD THR GUMSHIN TO ACTUALLY DO IT. WELL KENZHERO DID AND KILLED IT!!

****

THEY WERE RE-EDITING THESE KINDS OF OLD SCHOOL ONES!
