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, nationality, gender, sexuality 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. It means you have the feet in different worlds, can move between them but feel rather at home in that space in between. You've stepped out of your comfort zone and have become one of the new identities where ol' categories are mashed up and rootlessness and non-given identity just means major possibilities.

Blackeberg By Night

Post date Tue 17 Apr 2012 12:17 PM

Behind the Scenes - photos by me

Our photographer friend Miranda Ivarsson needed some help for a school project so me and my former travel partner The Magic Stick went to Blackeberg centre for a late night photo shoot. While waiting for the perfect darkness we were hanging out at the local pizzeria and it didn't take more than five minutes before some dudes asked us if we came from a circus. Ok that Stickan was pretty dressed up, but I wore my fucking everydaylife clothes. I told them that we were aliens who had come to earth to eat all narrow-minded men and then they shut up. Anyway... Magic Stick acted excellent super model in some old DIAGNOS stuff and a few other goodies from my wardrobe that I quick styled her in. Never thought she had such a kicker inside her, but she CERTAINLY had! (A true 2FACED1 of course) I'll show you Miranda's amazing pictures from the shooting when they're finished. 

Happy New Year - No Fear!

The most important thing 2011, for me - as a 2FACED1, has been the processes known as the Arab Spring and Occupy (W)All Streets. Two movements apparently diverse at first sight but actually just different expressions of the same spirit when one looks into it. The question has been raised: what is democracy? Is it compatible with reigning western view of Capitalism? And how do we reach it in a global world? This awakening of solidarity with hope of a world based on human need (as in equal rights for all mankind) and sustainability, not corporate greed, has 2FACED1s in the forefront, pushing that development. - The ones able to understand more perspective than one on things (the type of knowledge you develop when you're not the norm) - the ones understanding there are different situations of superiority and subordination in different contexts, - same ones that take responsibility when they happen to be in a context where their place is the privileged one.

How this movement is connected to the 2FACED1 State of Mind, we will keep on clarifying during 2012. The second wave of Occupy All Streets will happen this year and the truth is that it's our revolution, and yes the revolution will be televised and tweeted.

So dear 2FACED1s, let's put all energy into the things that really means something in 2012, and in the future. Think of that whenever you decide to put your thought and energy into various matters, does this really mean something?

Lots of love, brave creatures!

VIA SKINCOFFIN


I'm a sick emo ass. Fever, cough, sweat and snot. And when people in movies are always cute when they play ugly and sick, I'm not cute at all. Because this is not the ELLE-trendy natural look with light concealer and the right amount rouge. This is the hardcore human look. And if it wasn't for this fucking fever I would shoot a post-apocalystic movie with myself as the crazy deathly pale leading actor. You wouldn't see if I was nine or sixtynine years old.

PS. The picture of the kiddo, is it you Shorty? It must be!!!

The first sign of autumn has come to Stockholm. At first you'll think you're stalked by a guy in rolled up chimney beanie, rolled up chinos, rolled up anything from WEEKDAY. But then you'll realize it's autum again and all dudes just look the same. And you'll meet them every other meter on Götgatan and every time you'll wonder if that's the dude you fucked three years ago or if it's only Oskar Linnros

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PANDAS?

Post date Mon 21 Mar 2011 11:52 PM

I fear today's youth. They are all mini versions of Ebba Von Sydow and Erik BengtzboeWhat happened to stealing your parents booze, make out in the bushes and record mixtapes called Riot Don't Diet?  What happened to the pandas? What happened to "When You Grow Up Ypur Heart Dies".

I mean every kid should think that they're way smarter than parents and teachers, do their own thing and promise their selves that they never ever gonna be boring grown ups. SO WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE KIDS TODAY????  They look like they're 30+ and blog about Givenchy's new high heels and that organic food is good for your skin. I feel like I could be their granddaughter but heeey I can't because they are like 12 years old, they just look and act like they're thirtyeight. 

Hey I'm 12 years old this is my new Luis Vuitton bag

I hope I'll get alzeimers before these kids take over the world because it's gonna be fucking boring.

Last week was strange. I was stuck with a University exam that didn't give any intellectual stimulation at all, so instead I tried to develop myself sexually. It didn't work so well. I'd forgotten that the development of fucking works pretty much the same as the development fashion trends. Pretty much no fun development at all. Because it's always the shittiest things from some shitty antiquated period that becomes trendy again. So everyone follows the shitty trend rules to seem normal and the world continue to consist of 99% bad copies of a standardized fuck and an ugly look.

VIA DEREK DARLING

J left me so now I’m all alone and mega bored again. Listening to Nicki Minaj (yes hey 2faced1 hype today) and writing an angry article that shouldn’t be angry but I’m not that good at anger management right now and it’s also a response on an idiotic article which makes it even more difficult to not write GREEDY ANAL FASCIST PIG in every second sentence. While talking about sentenes, gosh, that was a long sentence...Anyway, the kid comes back to us (me and J the daddy) tonight so I hope it’ll be a ninja turtles weekend again now. I’m reaaaally up for 3 year old mayhem and I’m thinking about dressing up as a Donatello as a surprise, but I’m a little bit afraid that the kid will shit his pants in excitment/ fear. We don’t know eachother that well yet, but after this weekend I’m sure we’ll have a relationship that includes me dressed up as a Ninja Turtle.

Just before my whole creature was about to turn into a giant magic mushroom, thirtyfive Lady Gagas came and rescued me. Queeeroulicois Lady Gaga parteeey in Blåsut with hunkylicious hawthys was obviously the solution to life this night. So I stripped off my clothes and became Lady Gaga as everyone else.

Ps. I even wore thongs! My ass hasn’t looked that funny since I was a fjortiskicker back in -97. Lady Gaga Queeeroulicious Parteeeey For Life!!!

Steve-O poses like I do when I'm drunk. I guess he's too stupid to understand that this pose has never been fun or cool and definitly won't get you laid. I don't really have any excuses, I just blame it on the A-A-A-ALCOHOL.
