Mammalian Diving Reflex: 30 years of trailblazing performance

Acme designed the 2023 edition of Mammalian Diving Reflex’s annual report, titled “30 Years of Regular Ass Folks”, to commemorate three decades of the company’s groundbreaking social interventions. Since 1993, Mammalian Diving Reflex has been at the forefront of site-specific performances, theatre productions, participatory gallery installations, videos, art objects, and theoretical texts, all aimed at fostering dialogue and bridging communities through innovative and unconventional methods. This report not only highlights vibrant photo documentation from their rich performance history but also features compelling illustrations, including a striking wraparound cover by David Oro.
