DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

He imbues ordinary objects with consciousness and memory, allowing material things to embody human longing, time, and spiritual yearning through meditative visual language.

 Joe Lynch United States

His surrealist approach grants everyday objects—curtains, furniture, electricity—agency and personality, blurring boundaries between human and material realms through uncanny presence.
