The Penultimate Truth

Title sequence designed and adapted from the original book, "The Penultimate Truth" by Philip K. Dick and was designed alongside my friend, Yotam Rapaport as part of an academic brief.

The story in the novel is set in a dystopian world of World War III, where people have been living underground for 13 years, hiding from the war above; unknowingly to them, however, the war ended years ago and those above ground fabricated the continuation of the war in order to remain in power. 

The title depicts the essence of human nature, of what a lie looks like and the power struggle between innocence and awareness. We collected ready-made footage from different sources and archives and worked in a technique of layering footage, merging the content, and creating transitions between what is real and what is an illusion. The main visual symbols which inspired us and were incorporated into the project consisted of the media and news, childhood, and war.
