DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His films obsessively meditate on how objects accumulate memory, materiality, and spiritual presence through prolonged observation and time.

 Tsai Ming-liang Taiwan

His cinema transforms mundane architectural and utilitarian objects into meditative subjects that absorb and reflect human loneliness and temporality.
