human body as world

His visceral films like 'Possession' treat the body as a landscape of psychological chaos and cosmic dread where internal emotions manifest as physical grotesquerie.

He pioneered 'body horror' cinema, systematically exploring mutation, disease, and technological transformation as metaphors for human consciousness and social upheaval.

His films use extreme bodily imagery and subjective camera work to dissolve boundaries between inner consciousness and outer physicality, treating anatomy as lived space.
