The work is from the series "Findings" 2000 Relief prints on paper mass ,iron "Let’s join, let’s embrace tightly, let’s join our hearts, let us be the creators as long as the earth’s temperature lasts, as long as earthquakes, deluges and frost do not befall us and comets do not extinguish us, let us create a master mind, let us give a human meaning to a superhuman struggle…” Nikos Kazantzakis 1935 from “Vrachokipos” In the “Findings from planet earth” occurs a game with the concepts “past–future”. The title refers us to the future. The works refers us to the past, when man used to record events in the sense of writing life ( ζωγράφος, ζω(live)–γράφος(writer),means painter in Greek),in a language comprehensible by all, the language of images. The whole work has emerged from a long-lived review of History, from an attempt to decodify mythology, searching therein hidden secrets about the origins of universe and man. This ends in an new symbolical and codified language: A language of images. But this is also the result of a personal and immediate need to record the “dark” history of man. In this pictorial “alphabet “symbols or links like Dinosaurs (pre-historic era), clock (time transmission),an eye looking at viewers or urging them to watch faces-viewers, people escaping, foot-prints, viewers who previously stood by at an event…All these lead us to “confront” more complex images, many of whom unclude tragic moments: Stains in the history of mankind, like human sacrifices, cannibalism , slavery, human and animal torture, sexual exploitation, genocides etc. Historical events of a distant past that also “decorate” the recent and even the present history of “civilized” man. The narration concludes with contemporary reality, with global homogenization and with suffocating urban landscapes. It also concludes with moments of our present times similar to a film-carre in an unbearably fast, insane and destructive pace while the global master-mind and its ten billion neurons/human beings, connected mutually through the internet is already a fact of our proximate reality.

...In the work of Ms Kazaki the thing that is very impressive is her personal searching of new combinations and expressive types, which sometimes aim at the activation of types of geometric abstaction and of constructivistic logic, without sacrificing the character and the role of the color. The most important and positive thing in all of this process it is the fact that she is not resting on already conquered positions but always working towards reclaiming new elements and imposing more and more personal wordings.
