This New York photographer and filmmaker offers viewers a glimpse into contemporary subcultures such as bike messengers, graffiti artists, skaters ... What you see is a pyramid of drinking cans stickered, daubed and decorated by skaters. They turn a simple tool for drinking water into an artistic medium through which they shape their identity.
