Timothée Chalamet Visits Michael Heizer’s ‘City’ for Vogue
Actor Timothée Chalamet traveled to Michael Heizer’s monumental Land art installation, City, located in the Nevada desert, for a Vogue photoshoot with photographer Annie Leibovitz.
About the Artwork
City is a massive land art project spanning a mile-and-a-half long and half a mile wide. It was unveiled in 2022 after over 50 years of construction, which began in 1970.
“It’s just a totally remote experience,” Chalamet said, describing Heizer’s creation.
Chalamet on the Photoshoot and Annie Leibovitz
While discussing a variety of topics, including his upcoming film Marty Supreme directed by Josh Safdie, Chalamet shared his admiration for Annie Leibovitz, who captured his portraits at City.
“Annie is an absolute beast,” he said. “Sometimes when people become so ubiquitous or iconic, you can lose sight of how much effort goes in. She’s the first one up at 5:30 a.m. You’re coming downstairs, and she’s poring over materials.”
Chalamet added,
“She almost had a crazy compulsive creative attitude. She wasn’t concerned with anything but getting great stuff, and then I’m sure she went on to the next thing.”
Upcoming Project
Chalamet briefly mentioned his new role in Marty Supreme, where he plays a former table-tennis champion facing hard times.
