Caro Jost
My work is about time, movement, ephemerality and the ineffectual try to capture the moment for the eternity. I don ́t document classically through realistic photography, drawings or cartographic records, but rather transfer found objects and traces of the past into an abstract artwork employing a uniquely developed technique.

In her work, Caro Jost (Munich, 1965) investigates traces and the documentation of time, space and events. She creates self-produced film images and combines lost or found objects in public space with documents she collects from the archives of her favorite artists on canvas. She also developed her own artistic technique: street prints, in which she accidentally or deliberately records fragments of conversations, but also records traces on the street.
