The three-channel video installation The Experiment (2009), which consists of the videos Forest, Cave and Greed, was first screened in 2009 at the 53rd Venice Biennale. While Greed alludes with Biblical symbols to power, greed and sexual violence within the Catholic Church, Cave and Forest focus on issues of exhibitionism, voyeurism and sadism. At first glance, the colorful figures in painted scenery suggest a cute, funny scene. But the idyll is deceptive: Behind the facade, a world seemingly beyond good and evil comes to light, revealing the abysses of society in a brutally honest fashion. The Plasticine figures live out their sexual desires or are tortured with great brutality. In this way the scenes trigger in the viewer both a sense of fascination with something forbidden and at the same time kindle a sense of repugnance.
