Diplopia magazine

Diplopia is a medical term for seeing double (from Latin dipl- "double" and -opia - "vision"). Diplopia is not a disease, it’s an ability. To see something the others are not able to see. In the word around and also in ourselves. Diplopia is about duolism. A possibility to exist in many different entities, backgrounds and identities at the same time.  It’s about flexibility and constant change, where every second brings opportunity for the new metamorphosis. Finally, Diplopia is about choice. A freedom to be as many things and shapes as one only wishes to be. Once at a time and all at once.

Diplopia’s first issue is dedicated to men. Since the female voice has been growing stronger in the last decades, we have been slowly learning how to listen. As a result, after a long history of ignorance, we finally got to know what a woman wants.
But what about a man, are we able to hear his wisper? What motivates him, what scares him, and makes him stronger? What does it mean to be a man nowadays?
In this issue, Diplopia studies modern masculinity from different angles. From how men determine themselves to how they are being determined. By their job, their surroundings, and their space. This issue tries to understand how our gender defines us in general. And if it doesn’t, what is our definition?
