1993, lives and works at Salvador, Bahia, Brazil
Visual artist and researcher Victor Mota was born and works in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, where he is doing his master’s degree in the Postgraduate Program in Visual Arts at the UFBA School of Fine Arts. At the crossroads between photography, video and performance, the artist finds the core of his research, which revolves around urban poetics and informational narratives of territory, through virtual images from Google Street View. The street, progress and technology – both in the sense of digital and ancestral technologies – run through his productions.
He was one of the artists featured in the exhibition “Raízes – Começo, Meio e Começo”, at the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (Muncab), in Salvador, with the work “˜Paisagens Mapeadas’, in which he carries out a poetic investigation, through digital collages, into the tensions between the urban landscape and its digitalization. The video production “Pele Manchada” (2020) was shown at the 7th Bahian Film Festival (FECIBA) and the 14th Zózimo Bulbul Black Film Festival in Rio de Janeiro.
