DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Brian De Palma → USA

His films are constructed as visual collages of fragmented perspectives, split screens, and layered imagery that create meaning through juxtaposition and montage.

Jean-Luc Godard → France

He pioneered the use of visual collage through discontinuous editing, text overlays, and deliberate fragmentation of narrative space to create poetic meaning from visual contrasts.

Apichatpong Weerasethakul → Thailand

His films blend documentary footage, dream sequences, and real-time observation into immersive visual collages that layer different temporalities and realities simultaneously.
