optical perception

Masterfully manipulated visual perspective and symmetry to create disorienting psychological states, most notably in *2001: A Space Odyssey* and *A Clockwork Orange*.

Used prolonged takes, mirrors, and reflections to explore how perception shapes reality and consciousness in films like *Stalker* and *The Mirror*.

Employs surrealism, distorted imagery, and disorienting cinematography to challenge viewers' optical perception and blur the line between dream and reality in *Mulholland Drive* and *Eraserhead*.
