Timothée Chalamet Visits Michael Heizer’s ‘City’ for Vogue Photoshoot
Actor Timothée Chalamet traveled to Michael Heizer’s monumental Land art installation, City, accompanied by photographer Annie Leibovitz for a Vogue photoshoot. The artwork, located in the Nevada desert, spans a mile and a half long and half a mile wide. Completed in 2022 after decades of work starting in 1970, City stands as one of the most mystically intense art pieces of the century.
Chalamet’s Impression of the Artwork
“It’s just a totally remote experience.”
This succinct remark reflects Chalamet’s brief art criticism, as he focused more on discussing his upcoming projects, including the film Marty Supreme directed by Josh Safdie, where he plays a former table-tennis champion facing hardship.
Honoring Photographer Annie Leibovitz
Chalamet also praised Annie Leibovitz, who captured several portraits of him at City for Vogue.
“Annie is an absolute beast. 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.”
“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.”
Chalamet’s comments highlight Leibovitz’s dedication and relentless creative drive during the photoshoot.
