” Io fui, sono, sarò” is among the finalist projects of the GTA Contest and bears the signature of Ludovico Bosica, a student of RUFA – Rome University of Fine Arts.
What does it mean to live in a reality that no longer belongs to us?
From this question comes the project “Io fui, sono, sarò” which moves as a journey through time and perception.
The work investigates the relationship between man and the world around him, exploring the thin line between authenticity and illusion, memory and present, real life and simulated life.
Three narrative tenses intertwine to return a profound reflection on the human condition:
🔹 The past takes shape through videos shot with handycams and photographs treated like analog film – desaturated fragments of a time that still retains truth and imperfection.
🔹 The present breaks down into distorted and fragmented images, like digital brushstrokes that tell of a confused reality, where identity seems to dissolve.
🔹 Finally, the future emerges through the language of the video game Red Dead Redemption 2: an artificial but surprisingly human dimension, in which the author seeks gestures, silences and moments of pure existence.
The sound design follows the same narrative trajectory: noises, voices, and edited sounds intertwine to create an internal, diegetic conversation that does not explain but accompanies.
“Io fui, sono, sarò” thus becomes a suspended audiovisual experience, a reflection on the extraordinariness of being, on that tension that still drives us to seek meaning, ecstasy, truth in an increasingly artificial world.
