Takis Zerdevas was born in Patras in 1945. He studied Economics at the University of Piraeus (1965-1967) and graphic arts at the Doxiadis School (1966-1968). He then worked in Paris, where he was mainly involved in photography. After 1972 he worked for several years in Athens as a professional photographer, in the field of advertising. Zerdevas taught photography at the Vakalos School (1980-84) and in 1985 founded the photography school “Focus”, one of the first schools (in Greece) oriented towards new technologies. After 1990, he gradually moved away from the field of advertising and turned towards personal artistic expression, with the dominant medium, initially, photography and, a little later, video and installations. His individual exhibitions have been presented in Greece and in other European countries (France, Italy, Slovakia, etc.). He took part in many group photography exhibitions in Athens, Thessaloniki, Brussels, Genoa, etc.

 
In his first solo exhibition entitled Monotheamata (1995, House of Cyprus, Athens) he presented a series of photographs in a narrative arrangement, with the main theme of the mask-face and with particular emphasis on problems of form, such as the gradations of light and the performance of space. He then moved on to more complex comments about visual experience and the relationship between imagery, coordinated thought and verbal expression (Pre-linguistic Experiments, 2001). His visual media were enriched by the use of slides, video projections and site installations. The reflection around human or artistic identity and the projection of ‘I’, which was present in his work from the beginning, also appears in his later works (Curriculum Vitae, 2005).
