“THE LAST RESORT: The House That David Lee Hoffman Built” commissioned by Gagosian Quarterly—Winter 2024. Text by David Jacob Kramer. These photos are also part of a larger ongoing project about the Back To The Land movement of the 60s/70s—book forthcoming. Many more photos at the link in bio (although no amount of photos would do Hoffman’s place justice, and/or the experience we had—just scratched the surface here). With all thanks to: David Lee Hoffman Wyatt Allgeier @wallgeier8 David Jacob Kramer @kramercedesbenz Anna & Rodrigo Corral
