From an early age, Victor Pleskov showed a keen interest in visual arts, experimenting with video filming and graphic editing. By the age of eleven, he was already learning Photoshop and video editing software, passionately exploring the process of creating images and effects. A major influence on his creative development was the “KASKAD” art school, where Victor studied and found support among talented peers. A pivotal moment in his journey was discovering a book about black-and-white photography, which taught him to view photography not as the capture of objects but as the capture of light reflected from them.
In Moscow, Victor’s interests revolved around sculptures and performances. However, after moving to Israel, he focused on photography and sharing his work on social media. Gradually, he delved deeper into visual arts, realizing that this was his calling.
About six months ago, he turned to film photography, using a vintage medium-format camera he acquired from the closed stock of the Soviet manufacturer “Lubitel.” This camera, much like his first film camera from childhood, inspired him to experiment further. The photos taken with this camera have become something special and meaningful to him, as it connects him to his past and to a camera he has always remembered.
Today, Victor’s works, capturing light in motion, have become the central theme of his exhibition, exploring the connection between emotions and perception.
