DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

His films meditate on how consciousness relates to physical matter and time, exploring the spiritual within material reality through long, contemplative shots of natural objects and spaces.

 Michael Haneke Austria

His work interrogates how media and material objects shape consciousness, exploring the tension between perception and reality through austere cinematography and formal rigor.
