A book you walk through.

elsewhere is a travel archive in six journeys: islands, coasts, cities, mountains and desert. Instead of a feed, it borrows from printed books and gallery walls. Photographs open behind curtains and settle into place, headlines rise letter by letter, and when you choose a journey its photograph grows to fill the screen and becomes the next page.

A self-initiated experiment in pace: how slowly can a website move and still feel effortless? It is a concept, so the photographs are placeholders by Unsplash contributors, each one credited on the site.
