DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog → Germany

His documentaries and films obsessively explore nature's extremes and aquatic environments, with seaweed and ocean vegetation appearing as symbols of primal mystery in works like 'Aguirre, the Wrath of God' and his underwater documentaries.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul → Thailand

His films deeply engage with water, vegetation, and organic decay as metaphors for memory and time, with seaweed and aquatic plants recurring as liminal spaces between consciousness and nature in his meditative cinema.
