DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andy Warhol United States

His films deliberately rejected narrative permanence, using repetition and real-time documentation to expose the fleeting nature of presence and celebrity.

 Stan Brakhage United States

His experimental films prioritize momentary visual perception and decay, treating cinema itself as a temporary experience that resists preservation through abstraction.
