DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries obsessively explore earth's geological formations, volcanic landscapes, and mineral-rich environments as metaphors for human struggle and transcendence.

 Michelangelo Antonioni Italy

His films use barren landscapes, industrial quarries, and stark mineral environments to visualize existential alienation and emotional desolation.
