About the work
Lebensreform (“life reform”) was a social movement in the late 19th and early 20th century in Germany and Switzerland that advocated for a back to nature lifestyle, with a focus on healthy food, vegetarianism, nudism, sexual liberation and alternative medicine. This can be considered as a precursor to the 1960s hippy movement, and were a huge influence on the Kibbo Kift Kindred, a British youth movement of the 1920s, whom I have made many projects about.
