These works obscure conventions relating to viewership, the presentation of photographic images and the physical and perceptual space in which photographic and cinematic images are understood. The work constructs a perceptual paradox creating a set of relationships based around a 3-d photograph. The effect of the anaglyph 3-d image is a perceived descent through the architectural space of the gallery, into a secondary architectural space—an empty movie theater. Conversely, the work presents an extension of the physical architecture of the gallery into the viewer's space, and the space of the artwork.

The physical anaglyph photograph and the perceptual effect of the 3-d is mitigated by the architectural space of the wall. That image is compromised further by the representational space of the non-anaglyph photograph. The non-anaglyph photograph uses photographic illusionism to create a perceived window onto a view outside the physical space of the gallery.

Pictorial potential is another focus of these works. It presented through the potential cinematic event presented in the anaglyph photograph, and the "impossible" vision of the non-anaglyph photograph.
