This paper gives a compositional account of a construction which shifts perspective in projective prepositions such as behind and left of: the left-adjoined from-adjunct, as in "From the door, the ball is behind the chair." The implicit argument for perspective is normally assigned its value anaphorically, but in case of shifting with from-adjuncts, this variable is instead bound. The binding operator introduced by left-adjoined from is analyzed as a generic quantifier over simulated individuals, in the sense of Moltmann (2006), with the locational information in the from-adjunct forming the content of the restrictor. This paper also analyzes perspective shifting with a truth-conditionally equivalent expression, the conditional paraphrase "If you're at the door," using a similar approach.
