Double Identity – The secret life of John and Jane

Maria Antoniou’s Double Identity is a visual exploration of duality—two lives colliding within a single existence. In this striking series, she dissects the paradox of appearances, exposing the tension between the polished façade and the untamed reality beneath.

Her subjects, corporate professionals by day and gang rebels by night, embody the art of deception. Crisp suits and sterile offices dissolve into leather jackets and dimly lit alleyways, yet their core remains unchanged. Looks deceive, but attitude never lies. Through Antoniou’s lens, every frame pulses with an unspoken defiance, a rebellion that refuses to be masked by formality.

The photographs blur the line between who they are and who they pretend to be, forcing us to question identity itself. Are they truly two people, or is one persona just a necessary illusion? Double Identity is not just a portrait of dual lives—it’s a challenge to perception, a raw, unfiltered look at the contradictions we all carry.
