"Sasha Dzhikia is a chamber, ‘domestic’ artist. He has never (at least so far) been interested by large-scale artistic forms, such as objects and installations. In his photographs, and he has been taking photographs since 1981, the second year of his course, one cannot find monumental architectural structures – in the main they are of his friends, his wife, his dog ... and urban views opening up from the windows of his institute, his studio, and rented flats, the so-called photograph from an upper point. As distinct from the masters of Soviet photo reportage of the 20’s and 30’s, which made virtuoso use of the effects of an upper point for shooting pictures "to communicate via photographs the true scale of the transformations being wrought throughout the country,” Dzikhia was not bothered by the triumphal pathos of socialist construction. Beneath his windows people went walking, pedestrians hurried by, cars crashed into one another and their owners ‘sorted things out’, a steamroller rolled out the asphalt, workmen dug a ditch, a neglected old shed was burning – in general, the endless human bustle went on. One can suppose that while 20 years ago the balcony of that architecture student opened up a view similar to the building of the Dniepr hydroelectric plant, today he would be building Luzhkov’s resplendent new Moscow. However, history does not know the subjunctive mood – others are building Moscow, while Dzhikia illustrates Kharms and a teach-yourself Greek book. Remaining at the same height of his vantage point”. (Yu. Avvakumov)
