DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His films obsessively examine how photography and observation shape perception, particularly in *Blow-Up* where a photograph becomes unreliable evidence of reality.

 Jean-Luc Godard France

He constantly deconstructs cinema as a representational medium, treating film itself as photography-in-motion and questioning what images can truthfully convey.
