Doublefaced
Doublefaced is a series of 52 photographs by German artist and photographer Sebastian Bieniek.
History[edit]
The photographs were created in 2013 between August and November. All of the images, with the exception of two from Barcelona, were photographed in Berlin. Within a matter of weeks, following their introduction, the series became a sensation via the Internet and one of the best-known memes of the year 2013/2014.[1][2]
In January 2014 Doublefaced was selected as one of the "Top 10 Body Art of 2013" by the Web magazine designboom.[3] Doublefaced is featured in print and web editions of Designcollector magazine's "Top 2013 Photography".[4]
Five Doublefaced photographs were published, in the February 2014 edition of the German-based music publication, Intro magazine.[5]
Since April 2014 magazines from Germany,[6] France,[7] Mexico,[8] Greece,[9] Switzerland,[10] Egypt[11] and Saudi-Arabia[12] have acknowledged that Sebastian Bieniek’s Doublefaced series was plagiarized in the music video for Pharrell Williams' song "Marilyn Monroe".
The look[edit]
Most of the Doublefaced photographs are portraits of women. In a few cases they are portraits of the artist's six-year-old-son. The signature concept of Doublefaced is creating a second face. Bieniek simply draws an image of a face onto the side of the model's cheek. The sketch includes only one eye: carefully placed hair hides the rest of the face from view, revealing one, moving eye of the model.
