Syria Street (syriastreet.com) is a GIF-based editorial experience commissioned from the International Committee of the Red Cross. The project was produced in Tripoli, Lebanon. Through GIFs, text and sound the Syria Street documents the tensions between two adjacent neighborhoods, one Sunni Muslim, the other Alawite Muslim, aligned as they are with different sides in the Syrian civil war. They have engaged each other in close combat, suicide bombings and tit-for-tat attacks. Ironically, the two sects are separated by a street named after the war torn country only a forty minute drive away. Instead of using static images, the project showcases beautiful GIF images, sourced from slow motion video and displayed on seamless loop. Brandon Tauszik has pioneered this medium as an inventive way of displaying images on the internet. Syria Street received reviews from VICE, Al Jazeera, MediaPart, Featureshoot, and many more.
