All of Alexandra Sylvia Aderhold's artworks are vegan. She only uses vegan materials, works with vegan designers, and prints her products with vegan ink. She decided to stop using analog film, including instant film, as she wants to ensure that her art is not based on materials sourced from animal exploitation.

"There is a clear connection between veganism and my art. Consent is always important, especially in the nude, fetish, and porn scene, and it’s just as important when it comes to other animals. We should not violate their fundamental rights and use them as objects or treat them as our property without their consent just so that we can have leather whips or whipped cream on set. It’s just not right."

why vegan?

In our fight against injustice, including systems like racism and sexism, we must not overlook nonhuman animals merely because their DNA differs from ours. They, too, endure moral exclusion, discrimination, exploitation, and oppression, warranting protection for their rights and interests. What truly matters in the context of other animals is our shared sentience and subjecthood, making them morally relevant.

By excluding others based on traits they are born with — whether it's species, skin color, gender, ability, or other characteristics — we perpetuate a pattern of discrimination, exploitation, and oppression. It is imperative to boycott systematic and systemic violence and work towards its cessation, not just its regulation.

short film

LEBENSLÄNGLICH (Life Sentence)
Lebenslänglich is a short film showcasing the transformation of a former dairy farm into a sanctuary. In 2021, Alexandra had the opportunity to visit a sanctuary in Austria, where she not only encountered cows up close for the first time but also had the privilege of interviewing the compassionate sanctuary owners Juliane and Josef.

This emotionally charged film reveals the undeniable truth that even idyllic or seemingly peaceful places cannot hide the fact that animals' fundamental rights are violated when they are treated as mere resources, products for human use. It highlights the imperative need to rethink our treatment of animals, regardless of their living conditions, and embrace a compassionate world where their exploitation ceases to exist.

THE FOLDER
When talking to non-vegans, it can be assumed that they may not know much about animal rights and the typical methods of animal exploitation. That's why The Folder was created. It serves as a visual tool to highlight that enslaving animals and using them as resources is an ethical crime. Anyone wishing to raise awareness for animal rights can download and utilize this Folder.

The embedded color profile in the PDF is ISO Coated v2 300% (ECI). To achieve optimal printing results, it's important to ensure that the printer or printing company takes this setting into account. The format of the Folder is A4. It's easiest to print the pages individually and then assemble them.

If the Folder is intended to be used with a spiral binding (spiral at the top), please use the second PDF file. This should then be submitted for printing as an A4 portrait brochure with left-aligned spiral binding.
