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.

Oh my so amazingly beautiful! Kahlil Joseph and Storyboard are creating pure magic to music from the upcoming Flying Lotus album, here featuring Erykah Badu. Storyboard lived in Stockholm a couple of months this winter, we talked about doing something together on film, but just couldn't find the time. Well you all realize how stupid that was right..This talented artist got a real drive and will be going places, keep them art pieces coming!

Wang SS 13

Post date Sun 9 Sep 2012 9:35 PM

See full collection at Style.com

If I could I would have been in NYC now, NY Fashion Week is full on and Alexander Wang showed yesterday, I tried to forget about it but it was hard when my Instagram was swimming in AW images. (BTW I thiink I forgot to post the article Style By's Maria Soxbo wrote about the Wang house, interviewing me about Alexander, will do). The collection was spot on as usual, the show ended on a similar way as Nhu Doung's earlier on the Swedish Fashon week - with a glow in the dark surprise, but here on the clothes! I love white on white and white on white is what we've been doing for a while, (remember the white on white in the show I directed /styled for Swedish Hasbeens SS12, our make up was kinda similar too!) and we will keep it coming. On front row it was more like the rest of the collection; black on black! Alexander Wang equals pop culture so here's your pop stars!

The afterparty had noone other than BUSTA RHYMES headlining among others, check the pictures from the MADE afterparty here

New 2FACED1 Blog!

Post date Wed 5 Sep 2012 8:02 AM

You haven't missed or new Blog have you?

Over at 2FACED1 we have this idea of a Transnational identity based on the share-ability of pop culture in an Internet-connected world, where huge amounts of people also have migrated/emigrated the last century. Pop culture is, in many aspects, a phenomenon driven out of today's market capitalist economy, but we refuse to just see it as something trivial and dumbed-down for the masses. Instead we label it a common language, that at it’s best moments encourage people to create their own identity, without basing it on a specific ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class. We think pop culture contain important knowledge that just hasn't hit the Universities yet!

Welcome to the 2FACED1 State Of Mind Blog - a think tank for the ones skilled with the gift of being self aware enough to have a double folded view on identity, featuring loads of certificated 2FACED1 writers!

First out is Nathan Hamelberg's "One Love vs. Murder Music"- an article looking upon Homophobia in Jamaica as a last chain of Colonialism, while also shedding light upon common reference points between the American Gay-liberation movement and the conscious reggae and dancehall scenes. Is a more mutual understanding of the parallel histories of the movements possible?

1991

Post date Mon 3 Sep 2012 10:01 AM

Azealia Banks is going deep down in her 90's trip, and the name of the song is of course "1991", the same year the lady herself was born. For the ones who's been bumping Strictly Rythm and Nervous Records the last five years it doesn't feel like something new-new, but I'm looking forward to be hearing this in the mainstream context during the fall! + as I always say Azealia can spit, I like her, even if I wish she would be better trained than to go after other female rappers. I mean there are loads of shitty male-MC's out there... (Update: the Shystie hook up points in another direction! Great to have Shystie back in the limelight!)
