In 2010, Caro Jost began searching for the traces of the pioneering art scene of the 1940s – 1960s in New York. She researched and visited former artist´s studios, exhibition spaces and meeting places and recorded and filmed what is still visible today. This research resulted in a film documentation and a new series of works using and re-working the photo and film material. On a canvas primed with a Streetprint a collage-like image structure of the film stills in serveral layers is placed and superimposed with picturesque interventions.
