He exhibited his photographic essays “Photo Provocations”, “The Countryside Glam”, “The Beach”, “The Gambling”, “The Philosophy of a Journey” and others at “Fashion and Style in Photography” and “Photobiennale” in Moscow, and "Les Rencontres d'Arles" in France (2002).

A Chilikov photograph was used without his approval on the front and back of indie folk band Beirut's 2006 album Gulag Orkestar. According to Zach Condon, singer-songwriter of Beirut, the photographs were found in a book, torn out, in a library in Leipzig, Germany.
