Plaster casting · the /200 project

Ali Waller's /200 is a large-scale casting project made to honor survivors of sexual assault and to speak to the imbalance of justice they face. The title refers to the $200 paid to buy victims' silence — the price, as she puts it, of irreversible damage and a lifetime of recovery.

Since the project began she has cast more than 1,150 survivors. Each session opens with one question — what is your relationship with your body? — and ends as the cast is lifted away, so that neither person leaves alone.
