Maja Bajević (b. 1967, Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina) is an artist who lives and works in Paris, and who takes a critical and witty approach to art in order to pinpoint duplicities in human behavior, in particular those involving power. Informed by the artist’s own migratory life, previous works emphasized her interest in the contingent nature of political instability, and the tension between local and global. Since the mid-1990s, Bajević has been working on a range of different issues, encompassing globalization, inclusion/exclusion, exploitation, neo-liberalism, and their reciprocal effects. At the same time, she regularly returns to the issue of personal identity and homeland, and how these are constituted or “made impossible.” Bajević’s work ranges from video, installation, performance, and sound to text, crafts, drawing, printmaking, machinery, and photography. Selected solo exhibitions include: Moderna Galerija, Ljubljana (2025); Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich (2017); The James Gallery, New York (2012);  DAAD Galerie, Berlin (2012); and Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid (2011). Selected group exhibitions include: “Divided We Stand”, Busan Biennale (2018); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2016); 56th Venice Biennial (2015); “Documenta 12”, Kassel (2007). In 2017, Bajević was shortlisted for the Prix Marcel Duchamp.
