‘The term Lebensreform (Life Reform) originated in Germany in the mid 1890s for attempts to renew the whole conduct of life, especially in the spheres of nutrition, clothing, dwelling and
health. More particularly, you could notice movements…any kind of attitude against established constrictions of society…the Life Reform movements were certainly predecessors of today’s “escapist” constructions of identity, formed via lifestyle conceptions.’
Gertrud Prellwitz
Lebensreform in Leitrim is a project that investigates the contemporary legacy of recent migrations of people, particularly German, Dutch and Swiss people, to the north west of Ireland. These influences are social, environmental and architectural. It is planned to realise the project as a publication/ exhibition in 2009.
