DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni → Italy

His films obsessively explore urban displacement, psychological wandering, and the alienation of figures moving through modern landscapes.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul → Thailand

His camera constantly traces spatial displacements and temporal shifts, using long takes and architectural movement to interrogate memory and displacement.
