In Laura Hunt and Linnea Kniaz's Double Baptism, the two artists distort a religious ceremony by baptizing each other. Hunt states in an email to Kniaz, "We needed a form with a history and bap [sic] is both arbitrary and meaningful." A baptism in and of itself points in two directions: life and death. As with a double negative, Double Baptism playfully compounds this dissonance.
