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.

i-D 30 + a couple of weeks

Post date Thu 7 Oct 2010 12:25 PM

 

i-D goes 30

"Then, now, next"

I started on this post but never got to finish, so a couple of weeks later let's go.. Last number pretty much sums up why UK still is (and who is) the shit. All shoot by the amazing I-D icon Nick Knight. Let's celebrate via a journey through some of his and other photographers i-D covers!

 

Classic Madga, (long time blog readers seen this one up before)

The classic one with swedish LA CAMILLA by GUIDO HILDEBRAND (Guido Hildebrand, who is a dude with a name like that? Is he the missing link between swedish youth culture via a connection to swedish director Staffan Hildebrand -FILMEN G- and New Jersey Guido's or what?!)

ROBERT ERMAN

One of my all time favorites!

A great newer one by EMMA SUMMERTON

Nicki's (yes I like this and the video) love song makes me google old Annie Lennox/Eurytmics classics I haven't heard in a bit. See the iconic Annie Lennoxs heartbreaking original "No More I Love You's" .Here's some from my Annie Lennox Stylosopher folder:

I think you'll see I fancy miss Lennox a lot! (Limahl to the right!)

 

Ar(g) Man I Jeans

Since I've been such a lousy one lately, here comes another one. Clicked my way over to the NUEVA MUSAS blog, and found these images under the title; EMPORIO ARMANI 1988. Just yesterday when I had dinner with my b-ball boys, we talked about Armani's own basketball team in Milan that goes by the name of Armani Jeans Milan, and how come they didn't have jeans on (...c'mon at least jeans shorts) while playing.

Mr Lego Head got me a present, something he'd found that made him think of me...! Was it the beret, the name belt, the stance or just the fighting spirit? I got to say my underarms are heavier though... Peace On The Streets like it was 1980.
