Periptero is characterized as a meeting place where every Greek and tourist can find almost all kinds of things, from ci******es, chocolates, newspapers, and even condoms. It has become the everyday life of Greeks and for this reason most people that work in the periptero are very sociable. They feel the need to be more open to customers and often the same customers find little time to say a few words and to forget about their daily problems. In my neighborhood there is a periptero just outside the station. Beind the counter a young man very friendly with everyone. The whole neighborhood knows him, each morning he turns on loud music and sometimes everybody sings along. He likes talking about girls, football, food and generally gossiping benevolently. Through photo images, sketches and recordings of him and customers my aim would be to show his personality and daily routine behind and around the periptero.
