Constantly in motion
Almost twenty years later Tzatzalos shifts her attention from the rotating material and movements to the moving emotions of mankind itself. In her exhibition Ne quittez pas (2008), she showed the life sized body of a squatting person reaching out. In combination with the presentation of 26 bronze casts of trees, drawings and pictures a symbiotic story of man and nature is told. An open ended narrative in which Tzatzalos refers to themes as vulnerability, the search for meaning and the need to express and identify oneself. In the vast period Tzatzalos is making her art, her work is moving down a continuous path. Firmly rooted in her original inspirations,
her work evolves from mimeses (to evoke experiences) to the creating of images. Human presence slowly becomes more dominantly visible and objects quietly emancipate to more autonomous beings. In her recent work Tzatzalos brings her objects closer to the beholder, and to herself. Where does she take me to, when am I to reach which destination? Your mind will wonder and wander when confronted with Tzatzalos' work. Not easy to grasp, not easy to measure, slow: notions that are not compatible with the hectic of every day contemporary life with its focus on fast results and effects. In her totality the works of Tzatzalos form a perpetuum mobile. In the best of moments the apparatus gives you the feeling of eternity and beauty, whereas at times your endurance can be heavily tested as well.
