THE HIPPYE TRAIL: THE SAGA OF GREAT FLOW

Several pictures on the road to East of the Hippie and Beat Generation. The so-called ''Big Flow” from London to India overland via Istanbul, Tehran, Kabul, Delhi and Goa, to arrive in Kathmandu. Images that tell the epic of the ''Beat Generation'' post Keruak research of artificial paradise in the East. Pictures about the protest against the American system as well as the escape from it to land in existential and material worlds that led back to the integration into that world from which everything had been generated. A complete overview on a controversial system that crushed different and heterogeneous forms of participation otherwise hazardous to their existence. The dusty roads in India and all the other places that the Beat generation was interested in, like the beaches of Goa, Kathmandu, the sunny Kerala, will remain perennial epitaph of what was failry called “The Great Flow”.
