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.

Some Sort of Round Up

Post date Sun 10 Feb 2013 1:50 PM

READ: Garage Magazine. I haven't yet but the cover is enough to make me want to do it, the face is Cindy Sherman's and the subject is "Vanity".

WATCH: Simon Klose's "The Pirate Bay - Away From The Keyboard" is out. See it and think about what you can do with the internet, open source, collectivism. #TPBAFK

LIVE ON STAGE: Stand Up / Drama (STHLM) Alexander Salzbergers "Kicktorsken" 13-14 Feb. 2FACED1's can buy tickets for 100 kr, on how you find the info on our facebook-page

COP THAT: As Fabian Hart tweeted "OC x DKNY is sooo Decida"  and our German friend is soo right:

Other than that what am I doing? Working on the before mentioned "The Project", spending time at adidas Originals brand managing, formulating for myself why I get so upset over pop culture who don't understand it's inherent possibilities for progress. Basically trying to navigate in this constantly changing world.

Win Tickets To Mykki Blanco 2Morrow (STHLM)

Speaking of two-faced-one huh?! I saw Mykki Blanco last year:

"Every fan of hardcore rap should have been there yesterday. You know me - always had a soft spot for dem hardcore rappers since way back. Hence I happen to be one of the 30+ ladies who in the right mood would be body slaming at any OF, or say ONYX, concert

Imagine then the pleasentness of going nuts to 2FACED1-certified rap, cause o'boy, there is a huge difference in going stupid to the sound of a stereotypophobe like Mykki Blanco, compered to any straight, masculine, agressive stereotype." (Link to this old Blog Post)

Mykki is playing at BERNS tomorrow and this will be one of the concerts you just can't miss. Lucky you 2FACED1-reader, cause one lucky winner gets 2 tickets to the concert! Answer this question before kl 14.00 tomorrow.

WHO ARE LEAST LIKELY TO BE MYKKI BLANCO's PARENTS (Update: we had to change the questions cause two answers was right!!!)

a) MADONNA & DENNIS RODMAN

b) IGGY POP & SARAH PALIN

c) OL DIRTY BASTARD & MARILYN MANSON

EMAIL: hi2faced1@gmail.com (before 14.00 tomorrow Wednesday the 6th)

 

(Ps. Old rap dudes who think this is a gimmick, go see Mykki live...as trill as it gets)

When journalist Julianne Escobedo Shepherd's not exclusively on the road with Odd Future or on a plane with Rihanna, when she not writes for New York Times, Spin or are executive editoring The Fader, then she reads...2FACED1 (and has done for a while who else digs up ehum... well a battle dance video from 2006....maybe not what I expected after doing the interview back in Oct. but at times like these one gotta serve up I guess...haha!).

So in other words: my ass is up on SPIN MAG where I got to talk about Uppsala, 2FACED1, Jody Watley and of course the Rob! *sic*

 



 


Rosie Rose

My brother is a bit selfish sometimes. "Rosie Rose" has been around for the last couple of years - just between our walls. Finally he's letting go of her.

The Ocean - Behind The Scenes

An update on what we're up to from Jasmin:

A couple of days before Christmas, Decida sent me on a styling-mission. With a team of 2FACED1s, I travelled to the island of Öland (winter wonderland for real), where director duo Maceo Frost and Robin Günther had scouted some breath taking locations for Saturday, Monday and Julia Spada's upcoming music video. The truly amazing track, titled "The Ocean", got the treatment it deserved from everyone involved. Got chills in the truest sense of the word when lead dancers Bianca and Dennis made magic happen on that freezing shore... Also, Dennis deserves an honourable mention for his solo on the second day of filming: lost in the woods, crawling around in the snow. There wasn't one dry piece of clothing sent back to Stockholm, I can assure you... With dedication like that - you can't go wrong. Needless to say, I'm beyond excited to see the finished result! Will make sure to keep you posted.
