TRACES,
Creative Investigation


TRACES is a nonprofit research and multimedia studio.
We support new forms of aesthetic research focusing on the animal industry. We are convinced that the arts are essential in shaping how the lives of animals are seen, felt and heard.

Research & Investigation
We work experimentally in the field, in archives, and at the studio using a wide variety of methods, such as sound recording, LiDAR-scanning and photogrammetry, aerial imagery, thermal imaging, archival research, film and photography.

Creative work
Concept and produce in-house and commissioned video games, documentary films, short films, animations, and other new forms of multimedia content.

Content distribution
  • Publish, showcase and share content through film fests, exhibitions, and events 
  • Building and maintaining an extensive online video and photography archive to provide high quality content to other animal protection advocates.

Our approach traces systemic violence through forensic methods and artistic creation to radically rethink animal rights in a broader context.


We work with specialists across many disciplines including forensics, ecology, critical animal studies, contemporary art and media. We’re facilitating content that goes well beyond the animal protection field.
