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.

...that's the message you need on your tee in post-19-sept-Sweden.


 the 2FACED1 Needs Food For Thought and Food For Eye

Påtal om val; tänkvärd artikel, som jag tycker att alla svenska besökare ska läsa. Att gå till att rösta på SD, på grund av att man ser problem i integrationen, är att vara fan och läsa bibeln. Vad varje boende i Sverige bör veta är att vi är ett litet sketet land, skulle vi sitta här uppe och på något sätt försöka isolera oss och leva på vår egen skörd - för att vi tror att vi har mer att förlora än att vinna på varje kontakt med omvärlden, då skulle vi dö ut illa kvickt. Och att inte känna till begrepp som fattigsverige (U-landet Sverige - där en fjärdedel av svenskarna utvandrar till USA. Kolla på denna dokumentär också!)och öppna munnen är lika dumt. Men vi måste ta den här situationen på allvar, som Alice Teodorescu skriver. Vi måste bli bättre på att använda all den här möjliga kapacitet som kommer till Sverige, (människor är möjligheter inte problem herregud) för dess egen skull och för Sverige som helhets skull, det är där integrationen måste bli bättre. Nu tror jag iofs att det flesta av er 2FACED1s är varse om detta, men argumenten tåls att slippas till i post-19-september-Sverige.

Would it be ok if I wish for one, just one, of those rainy days when you can stay in and watch not-so-good movies without feeling guilty in some sense?

 

M.I.A. in GQ / SUPER FERTILE AW 10

Post date Mon 5 Jul 2010 9:11 AM

M.I.A.s head piece in GQ reminded me I had to do a check- up on what her sister Kali, the women behind the jewellry line Super Fertility is up to. Her latest collection is called MAN KIND (see the rest): 

"If MAN is the root of all problems, MAN'S kindness is the solution. We each have the power to lift another up from the gutter, to lend a hand, to offer a platform to stand on, in some cases to pull others to safety. Human kindness empowers us all and the courage that it takes to care is what inspired this collection."

So it is finally here, the video we worked intensivly on for a way shorter time than you think because of facts we couldnt handle any other way. The actual filming took place at Filmhuset in Stockholm Sunday the 9 th of May, we started around 07 in the morning and went on until 02.30... had my peple with me; you see my lil' bro Dennis as the MF'in HUNK of the Vid haha! Then we have curlygirl Nicole, fashionable Bianca, ferocious Bambam and Martha getting down the way only Martha can. We have super hot xstras as Selam Skogsdjur, partystarter Anton and Zhala la Diva. Add a mass of extremly goodlooking stylish swedes - and then I'm not talking about so called Blog Fashionistas, Im talking about real deal style like that kid in a snot green 90 ies KENZO JEANS jacket or the dude with metal pinky ring/finger nail or Arashs waist long hair a la Rick Owens steelo! Of course there's always some that is a little bit too hungry for that air but over all; SWEDEN IS LOOKING HELLA FINE - I'M PROUD!!!

It was a long day, for all of us. Director Max Vitali raved (with help from me and Gorjan!) a long with the crowd until the end, and I was coaching and dancing behind the camera boosting over energy to Ms Thang the whole day. Then Ali, Naomi and Linda making ROBYN look gorgeous and of course the whole big filmteam! We had nice company from Interscope too, MsMama Nicole - headboss over the video section at Interscope whas with us, I think she had a good time and on top of that she learned the whole choreography!

I started working with this piece in my old girl room at my parents house, it was the BEST possible place to be, cause I got the memories back from being that youngsta experiencing the lyrics in that song in one of these school dances... We've all been there. I got so deep into it I had tears in my eyes for a moment!!!The whole idea of choreographing Robyn, I would nearly prefer to write "making Robyn move" or "expression in motion", it's about making it simple, using moves everybody can do, focus on energy and expression NOT complex choreography. The last thing I ever will do with her is something USHER- or BEYONCE-esque... We wanted the pissed off, aggressive (Rosie P) feeling of being dismissed alternated with the heartbreaking sadness you can't escape from. As I wrote earlier, I miss the melancholic "Pet Shop Boys"-type-of-bridge from the original track, cause I think it adds an dimension to the song, but then the video turned out really dramaturgical this way. I really enjoy doing this, comming from the world of a freestyle dancer trying to make everything as difficult as possible for so many years, it's truly liberating. And of course I couldn't miss the chance to get ROBYN to do the classic "make out wih myself-dance" with a title like that! As Dj ROKK said the other day, these clubscenes is some of the best in quite a bit - cause you really feel Robyn, she knows how to do that to you - don't she, and all the contrarious feelings on the floor. I hope you enjoy this video!
