In Laresa Kossloff's work at Artspace gallery, everyday objects such as projectors and glass normally found at homes, business buildings, theater's and Cinemas are used as materials. Films are screened away from each other on purpose to give viewers different views of the projectors screens within the gallery. One of the projectors is placed further away from the entrance and at 1st glance at it, it gets viewers interest from the distance cause it was set differently from the other 2 screens. The viewer can only get good view of the screen when a close-up view of the projector screen is clear, the film is screened on a 32inch rectangular clear-glass hanging down by chains. its giving an illusion of the film being screened in negative space. The films is where the message/subject matter is based, its exploring bodies inhabit space within a urban environment. One film is a Melbourne stocking exchange building on a smooth continuous vertical panning shot,showcasing steel and glass grids. People are moving between the busy, square rooms and office as the continuous shot goes up and down the building
