Die Hippie-Bewegung als friedfertige Rebellion der Jugend ist in den 60er Jahren in den westlichen Gesellschaften entstanden. Langhaarig und farbenfroh gekleidet, protestierten ihre Anhänger gegen die ihrer Meinung nach spießige und sinnentleerte, einzig auf Wohlstand und Konsum ausgerichtete Kultur ihrer Eltern. Ihre von gesellschaftlichen Zwängen und Tabus freie Lebensauffassung wurde von der älteren Generation oft als Provokation empfunden. Tatsächlich waren die Blumenkinder auf der Suche nach einer humaneren Lebensweise, nach Harmonie mit der Welt und mit sich selbst. Matala an der Südküste von Kreta war ein Zentrum der Bewegung.
Der Fotoband Mythos Matala fängt in Bild und Text ein, wie Jugendliche aus aller Welt in den Höhlen an der malerischen Bucht von Matala damals nach ihren Vorstellungen und nach ihrer Devise love & peace ein einfaches und glückliches Leben zu führen versuchten.

The hippie movement as a peaceful rebellion of the youth was born in the 60s in Western societies. Long-haired and dressed colorfully, their supporters protested against the narrow-minded in their opinion and meaningless, only focused on wealth and consumption culture of their parents. Of their social constraints and taboos free view of life was often perceived by the older generation as a provocation. In fact, the flower children were in search of a more humane way of life, for harmony with the world and with himself Matala on the south coast of Crete was the center of the movement.
The photo book myth Matala captures in pictures and text, such as young people from all over the world at that time to lead a simple and happy life tried in the caves on the picturesque bay of Matala according to their ideas and to exchange their love & peace..
