DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Stan Brakhage United States

Pioneer of abstract cinema who repeatedly obscured, scratched, and layered film stock to explore how vision itself can be destroyed and reconstructed through visual abstraction.

 Apichatpong Weerasethakul Thailand

Masterfully employs darkness, fog, and temporal discontinuity to obliterate narrative coherence and visual legibility while exploring memory and perception.
