Music Video / Film Director Needed

Post date Tue 24 Apr 2012 9:49 AM

2FACED1 is doing a whole lotta fun stuff at the moment. Right now I'm looking for an extremely sharp collaborative well-renowned Music Video / Film Director that could work tight together with me for a pretty unique music video/short film. This person should fully understand the 2FACED1-idea (perspectives), and preferable be based in London and have experience and being very good at working with kids too. Hit me up with a mail if that's you or recommendation if you know her / him at decidastyle @ gmail.com

- David, are you reading my blog?

2FACED1 presents Alex Dabo!

Post date Wed 11 Jan 2012 6:12 PM

Finally!!! The new site is done! Step over to the really important thing about 2FACED1.com, and meet the Intern like you never seen him before. Feel free to share!

2FACED1.com Presents a New 2FACED1 - Fifteen Year Old Alex Dabo

2FACED1.com - the home of the stereotypophobes, has repainted the (non-existing) walls and expanded. The journey through modern day identities, subcultures and stereotypes continues along with the search of transnational identities.

2FACED1.com is therefore thrilled by the release of the next “2FACED1” - Alex Dabo. This fifteen year old proves that growing up with a laptop instead of a cuddly toy luckily hasn’t made all kids into Anders Behring Breivik clones. As Alex puts it: “Just because you’re a kid doesn’t mean you’re not able to think”. He breaks it down simple, why style is essential in a world not yet free from prejudice against things like the color of your skin. After meeting Alex we believe in the youth again!

Click over to the new site and discover Alex’s two faces:

Persona One; what he wants to be considered as

Persona Two; what he fears to be considered as

_________________________________________________________________

2FACED1.com shows one persons two faces in photos; Persona One; what one want to be considered as and Persona Two; what one fears to be considered as by other people. 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. It's about diggin' deeper, peelin' off garments, codes and attributes searching for identity until  buttnakedness. Is the conclusion that we choose whoever we want to be today?

A 2FACED1 is someone that is highly aware of existing stereotypes related to ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexuality and class. A person who tries to avoid and sometimes play with them to make people think twice about who  they are. So to be two faced doesn’t mean anything negative here, it rather explain the double folded  view you have on identity if you’re not the existing norm. It means you have your feet in different worlds,  can move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You're stepping out of your comfort zone and become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and where rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities!

When I was 17: Robyn

Post date Sat 19 Nov 2011 9:15 PM

Life of a 2FACED1 growing up in Sweden! I didn't know Robyn back here, I knew of her but I didn't know her. But we had a lot of similarities going on, even if I had the regualr teen time and was only dreaming of going to New York...! Stay tuned to see what superstar had a crush on the 17 year old Robyn haha (I'm still waiting for the Swedish tabloids to do a poster of this?!) and see more of life was for the 17 year old Robyn feat. Robyn's long time friend Lojsan among others! MTV US: When I Was 17 below:

Sneak Peak of the upcoming 2FACED1!

Post date Fri 9 Sep 2011 11:01 AM

NÖJESGUIDEN's new Fashion Editor Sanna Samuelsson stopped by the office in August and had an chat with me about the upcoming re-release of 2FACED1 2.0. (yeah it's on it's waaaay!). and we gave a sneak preview of the upcoming 2FACED1-person we'll be presenting: Alex Darbo. Swedes can read the full article here, and Alex as you can see is very stoked over this! (The headline should of course be "De sterotypofobas hemvist".) Here follows a small part of it translated to English:

"House of the Stereotypophobes"

N: Sometimes one can be jealous over how many white middle- class guys never has been obligated to be aware how how other people sees them...
D:That's part of the problem. Many of them are saying" yeah, but I'm never thinking about how other people look at me" , which makes you want to answer " but why don't you think you doesn't do that?". They just don't need to. BUT there are a bunch of white middle class dudes that are 2FACED1s too! Those who took a step out of their comfort zone and refused to fulfill the idea of "the white man". It's the journey to something new that makes you a 2FACED1 - not your starting point.
N: It's a good thing that the inflicted self-awareness could be looked upon as a benefit...
D: That's the future! How prosperous can one really become without caring about other people? It won't work in the long run, and with the Internet the society becomes more transparent too. You better clean up your act!

Enough talking now, all 2FACED1s let's get to work and get this site + collective going on! If you think you should be a part of the team see this -> 2FACED1 NEEDS YOU (Esp London assistants needed, new project in London is coming up in October/November)
