DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Michael Morris → USA

His documentary work obsessively examines forgotten histories and overlooked artifacts, bringing buried visual culture back to life with philosophical depth.

Jean-Luc Godard → France

He consistently deconstructed consumer culture and advertising through collage-like montages, treating commercial imagery as material for critical examination.

Chris Marker → France

His experimental films weaponize found footage and archival material, including vintage advertisements, to explore memory, time, and the constructed nature of history.
