Selected Works 1978- : Sergey Chilikov

Chilikov´s photography career began in 1976 in the FACT group (S. Chilikov, Y. Evlampiev, V. Voetsky, E. Likhosherst, V. Mikhaylov). Very soon he became a leader of non-conformist photography in his region. Together with a group of like-minded individuals, he managed to organize exhibitions and festivals and to deal quite peacefully with official Photosoyuses. Since 1989 Chilikov has been working on a travel series about cities in the Soviet Union. His series, entitled ´ Photo Provocations´, ´The Countryside Glam´, The Beach´, ´The Gambling´, ´The Philosophy of a Journey´ and others, depict the hidden eroticism of people of the countryside that appears even more vital when contrasts with depressing surroundings.
