Timothée Chalamet Visits Michael Heizer’s Land Art Installation ‘City’
Actor Timothée Chalamet traveled to Nevada to visit Michael Heizer’s monumental Land art installation, City, accompanied by photographer Annie Leibovitz for a Vogue photoshoot.
About the Artwork
City is an immense work of Land art, stretching a mile and a half long and half a mile wide, located in the Nevada desert. After decades of construction since 1970, it officially opened in 2022, standing as one of the most enigmatic artworks of our time.
Chalamet’s Reflection on the Experience
“It’s just a totally remote experience.”
This brief comment sums up Chalamet’s take on the artwork itself, as he focuses more on discussing his other projects.
Collaboration with Photographer Annie Leibovitz
Chalamet praised Annie Leibovitz's dedication and hard work during their shoot 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.”
“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.”
Related Projects
While at the shoot, Chalamet also talked about his upcoming work, particularly highlighting Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie, where he plays a former table-tennis champion facing hard times.
