2026/2027 Artist in Residence · Photography
Tag Christof
Los Angeles, CA
I am a working photographer, writer and designer based in Los Angeles. I am a frequent contributor to The New York Times, as well as a host of other national and international publications, ranging from apartamento to Die Zeit. I also work with design brands and architecture firms, as well as relevant institutions and organizations such as Docomomo and the MAK Center.
My work is primarily focused on architecture, urbanism, and objects of American design. I am particularly interested in the cycles of vogue and obsolescence, in textural explorations of style and quality, and in questions about the ways humans will interact with non-digital design in the age of ubiquitous screens.
