At the same time Victor worked as an art director of the film The Anatomy of the miracle, director V.Ivanov).
Sydorenko's pathway from realism to neoavant-gardism is represents the freedom of creativity of the last generation that grown and was working at a totalitarian regime.[4] In the project "Levitation" (2008–2009), the artist gives an advantage to the optical illusive game which is created by dense and viscous red colour and by the space with large-format picturesque planes and installation. Man's figures stretched out and soaring in air, are forcing to lose reference points and coordinates, and even yourself.[5]
