For 50 years I have been coming to a small mountain village in summer where my paternal grandmother was born. The village, formerly called Chalvátsou and now Kefalóvryso, is situated in the Peloponnese, 43 kilometres northwest of Kalamata in the province of Messinia. After the Civil War (1946-1949) many villagers moved to the big Greek cities, and to Germany, Australia, Canada and America, in search of work. According to the latest figures, the current population is 98, most of whom are over 60 years of age. In that small village, I spent my summers with my grandmother in the 1960s, and the impressions of that time have shaped my attitude to life and my work. I consider it a great privilege to have had a glimpse of the everyday life of small subsistence farmers, including all the advantages and disadvantages of such an existence. The more recent developments in the village, which I have observed as an adult since 1998, I find just as fascinating, and give me food for thought.
This publication, in which I tell the story of the village based on my memories and observations, is part of the work Alteration and a tribute to the place that has shaped me most.
