DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni → Italy

His films obsessively examine how photographs and images mediate perception and reality, particularly in works like *Blow-Up* where a photograph becomes the only evidence of truth.

Jean-Luc Godard → France

He constantly interrogates cinema's relationship to photography and representation through self-reflexive techniques, treating film itself as a medium that questions how images construct meaning.
