DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Chloé Zhao China/USA

Her films like 'Nomadland' and 'The Rider' explore lives of marginalized people working with salvage, scrap, and abandoned industrial landscapes.

 David Lynch USA

His signature aesthetic obsessively incorporates industrial wreckage, metal decay, and the psychological weight of abandoned machinery as metaphors for human consciousness.
