Victor Mota (1993) works in Salvador, where he is pursuing a master’s degree in visual arts at UFBA. 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, at the crossroads between photography, video, and performance. The street, progress, and technology—both digital and ancestral—intersect throughout his production.

Sol Cartografado and Vento em Coordenadas (2024) are part of Paisagens Mapeadas (2024), a series that emerges from the use of the word as image, reflecting on how the landscape has been mediated by digital devices, screens, and virtual cartographies. The works investigate this tension between physical territory and its technological representation, proposing a poetic gaze at the idea of mapping. Sol Cartografado and Vento em Coordenadas dialogue with images of places located around MUNCAB, in Salvador. In them, text and landscape merge on a blue surface, where the word acts as both horizon and orienting line.

The works were part of the exhibition Raízes: Começo, Meio e Começo, held at the Museu Nacional da Cultura Afro-Brasileira (MUNCAB), Salvador, in 2025.
