figure-ground reversal

Masterfully manipulates audience perception by shifting what appears threatening or important, making viewers question whether they're focusing on the true danger or being deliberately misdirected.

Systematically obscures narrative clarity and character motivation, forcing viewers to reassess their understanding of events as background details become central and apparent plots dissolve into surreal ambiguity.

Deliberately withholds and repositions visual information to challenge viewers' assumptions about morality and meaning, making peripheral characters and overlooked moments the true focal points of his narratives.
