DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrey Zvyagintsev Russia

His films like 'Leviathan' and 'Loveless' chronicle the decay and reconstruction of post-Soviet Russian society through intimate human dramas set against crumbling infrastructure.

 Tsai Ming-liang Taiwan

His works obsessively document urban renewal, demolition, and architectural transformation in Taipei, treating infrastructure decay as a metaphor for human disconnection.
