Detached from conventional mediums like photography and painting, Caro Jost's streetprints document in an immediate manner episodes of reality in form of an innovative artistic concept: Streetprints, relief-like impression of traces from everyday life, which she finds on streets and sidewalks, often unnoticed by the majority. These unique forms and lines, like monumental fingerprints of our environment, are in the center of her art and a both abstract and meticulous documentation of urban reality. [DB/JS].
