The Raft
Marcus Lindeen, 2018
In the summer of 1973, five men and six women embarked on a 101-day scientific
sea-adventure, drifting on a small raft named ‘Acali’ across the Atlantic. In an
experiment initiated by Mexican anthropologist Santiago Genovés, the project’s
aim was to explore the origins of violence and the dynamics of sexual attraction.
The eleven members of the crew were handpicked from around the world with the
objective of mixing religion, gender and nationality to maximize friction on board.
