 Double Bubble, 2001 Double Bubble, a video work created in 2001 by Bosnian artist Maja Bajevic, addresses the duality of religious morals and ethics: increasingly, political attributes are linked to particular religious confessions, while religion plays an ever more important role in the male- dominated hierarchy of the world powers. This is the backdrop against which Maja Bajevic as a female performer utters contradictory statements such as "I have shot 55 people during prayer in the name of God" or "I free people from sins. They give me money." Double Bubble becomes a mirror for the misuse of power and religion.
