STILL CAN
A story etched onto the skin of spray cans
Phzero presents I CAN spray, I CAN tell, the first work in the STILL CAN series. Initially unveiled at Riscarti Fest, it is now reinstalled for RAW 2025 in a new exhibition context—where material becomes not just support, but narrative.
Created from the same sheets of exhausted spray cans once used to mark walls and shape urban visions, the piece is born of action, and preserves its memory.
It is street art that refuses silence—starting again from what was discarded.
The project emerges from a research path that weaves together public art, sustainability, and time, transforming consumed tools into narrative surfaces, and discarded objects into active witnesses.
Each metal sheet, manually opened, sanded, and prepared, is a marked skin: scratches, folds, paint residues.
A material that has endured, now engraved to endure, balanced between past and present.
From the street to the gallery, the message changes form but never fades:
recovery becomes a conscious choice, waste becomes surface, and urban action becomes archive.
The exhibition opens a window onto the STILL CAN series, now composed of 11 works and still evolving.
Alongside the pieces, visitors are invited into the recovery process itself:
a visual and technical journey between handcraft and digital technology, between expressive urgency and the will to leave a trace.
From what once seemed to have said everything, comes an artwork that still has something to say.
