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 us 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 magazine is a project started in 2022 which explores an unstable, constantly changing human nature by texts and profiles about people from different countries and cultures. It’s a self-reflection about cultural nomads like myself, Russian-born naturalized Norwegian living in London. It is about our place in the world, cultural identity and attachment.
