Timothée Chalamet Visited Michael Heizer’s ‘City’ for Vogue Photoshoot
Actor Timothée Chalamet traveled to the remarkable Land art installation City by Michael Heizer, located in the Nevada desert, for a Vogue photoshoot with photographer Annie Liebovitz.
The Monumental Land Art Installation
Heizer’s City spans about a mile and a half long and half a mile wide. The massive artwork, begun in 1970, opened in 2022 after decades of construction. Reflecting on the experience, Chalamet described it as:
“It’s just a totally remote experience.”
Chalamet on the Photoshoot and Photographer
While Chalamet discussed various projects, including his role in Josh Safdie’s film Marty Supreme, he also praised Annie Liebovitz, who captured several portraits at City:
“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.”
He 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.”
Chalamet’s Focus Beyond Art Criticism
Chalamet’s comments about City were brief, focusing mostly on the remote nature of the site rather than detailed art criticism. Instead, he emphasized the collaborative creative process with Liebovitz.
