Maxi Apartment with Private Garden in the City Centre — Verdemare, Rive

The 49 photographs in this listing start from shots of the apartment, furnished and lived in, of the garden and of the outside of the complex. All 49 went through a generative image model (Google's Nano Banana family, used through the Higgsfield platform): 6 only for light and colour, 8 to remove objects, 35 are simulations and on the website carry the label «AI · simulated». Removed were: people, also as reflections, and reflections, including that of the person taking the photos; the dog, its bed and bowls; clothes, slippers, a sock, soft toys, bags, suitcases, boxes and carrier bags; family photographs, stickers, ornaments, flowers, cushions, a bottle and the objects on worktops, bedside tables and shelves, tablecloths included; towels, bathrobes, bottles and cosmetics, bath mats, a trolley and a towel holder; a vacuum cleaner, a broom, a bucket, a bin, detergents, drying racks and a laundry basket; a television with its unit, a monitor, a printer and cables; a desk, an office chair, small tables and chairs; outside, cars, bins, posts, hoses, stones and other objects, also on balconies and behind a fence.

Where an object was removed, what it hid was not photographed: the model reconstructed it, plausibly. In the simulations the model added or invented things that are not there: beds remade with white linen and, in one, a beige bedspread instead of the red one; a wooden bench and a wooden shelf unit, two chests of drawers, two wooden cubes, two portraits (one in place of a landscape), books, vases, cushions, a plant, soaps, towels and other objects on the shelves; spotlight tracks, light tracks, a spotlight, a light line and lighting coves on the ceiling; a fire burning in the fireplace; a flowering shrub, clouds in the sky, mown, green and even lawns in place of dry, tall or sparse grass, a gravel strip, mulch and a flower bed with borders. In 2 photos the viewpoint was reconstructed by the model, in 4 the frame was widened beyond the edges of the shot, one is a collage of five photos composed by the model; in some, furniture and objects were moved (a carved panel, table and chairs in the garden, paper rolls, the furniture of a study), and in 2 the bed, desk, writing desk, chair, stool, ceiling light and a diary were reconstructed by the model.

The model also changed fixed parts and furniture, which these photos therefore do not show as they are: it added a window and a marble top in the bathrooms, made a bidet appear where there were objects and turned a curtain into glazing onto the garden; it redrew the room beyond a door and, in a view from which it removed the cars and thinned the trees, the old wall and the buildings; it invented on a glossy wall the reflection of glazing with trees; it made the awnings green (they are grey), turned a gas hob into a smooth black surface and a table with a tablecloth into a bare wooden table, made a black plate steel, a carved sideboard plain and the frames of the family photos blank; it removed the recessed spotlights of a ceiling, switch plates, small hatches, an open door leaf, marks on a wall, a sign, the letterboxes, the trunk of a pine in the foreground and the tree shadows on a path. For these photos there is no list of the parts that remained as in the shot: no detail should be taken for granted. Even in the 6 photos retouched only for light the model recalculated the whole image: the fine grain of surfaces is reconstructed, not photographed.

Light and colour were corrected as in normal photo retouching. The original unmodified photographs are available on request; a viewing remains the only reference for the actual condition of the property.
