DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Stan Brakhage United States

His avant-garde films obsessively document the act of seeing itself, creating thousands of experimental works that compulsively capture perception and memory.

 Chris Marker France

His works like 'Sans Soleil' obsessively document fragments of time, memory, and travel through montage, treating cinema as a tool for compulsive archival of human experience.
