Traces illustrates the myriad ways in which, regardless of time and place, people have used animals as driving forces in their cultures. By tackling such a much-discussed topic, the exhibition also serves to document contemporary culture and the ways in which we frame issues.
The objects displayed include a gorilla skull pierced by bullets, bear skulls from a sacrificial site of the Nenets people and items made of ivory, feathers, furs and tortoise shells from different parts of the world.
