Heliotropy

by Studio CRONICA


A charged-up website lit by a yellow animated beam explores two stories of Heliotropy’s founders. Each of the personal pages appears brimmed with draggable text, photos, videos, handwritten notes, naive illustrations, and even embedded music balanced with a mono-colored background and smooth scroll.

Hayal & Hakikat

by Marina Meyer


The website tells a poignant story of Turkish convicts who had to be photographed with their palms on the show so the Sultan could decide whether they would live or die. As you scroll down the page, multiple centuries-old photos of people appear, flickering as if the photoshoot is still going on. The flow is sometimes interrupted by intertitles explaining one thing or another.
