DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
David Cronenberg → Canada

His films like 'Videodrome' and 'eXistenZ' explore how technology invades the body and blurs the line between surveillance, reality, and private consciousness.

Yorgos Lanthimos → Greece

Works such as 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' and 'Poor Things' examine psychological surveillance, control, and the violation of personal autonomy within intimate spaces.

Wong Kar-wai → Hong Kong

His visually poetic films like 'Chungking Express' and 'In the Mood for Love' use framing and cinematography to explore voyeurism, observation, and the tension between public and private life.
