DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His films like 'Stalker' and 'Mirror' explore desolate, forgotten spaces as meditations on memory, loss, and spiritual emptiness.

 Chloé Zhao China/United States

Her work, particularly 'Nomadland' and 'The Eternals', captures the haunting beauty of abandoned American landscapes and forgotten communities.

 Béla Tarr Hungary

His monochromatic films like 'Sátántangó' and 'Damnation' immerse viewers in decaying, abandoned industrial worlds filled with existential despair.
