A grainy photograph of a cityscape with indistinct buildings in the background and trees in the foreground. The left edge of the image shows a black surface with star patterns, possibly a book or folder, partially obscuring the view. The overall quality of the image is low, with washed-out colors and a lack of sharp detail.

A dilapidated room with a moss-covered floor, debris scattered around, and sunlight filtering through broken windows, casting a reddish hue over the scene.

A photograph of a deteriorated piece of paper with printed text, partially obscured by cobweb-like filaments, against a dark background, all mounted on a white border.

A black and white photograph of a person's torso with a dark shirt lifted up to reveal the stomach area, which has two dark circular marks resembling eyes and a faint line that could suggest a mouth, giving the appearance of a face. The image is framed with a white border.

A contemporary art piece featuring a vertical assemblage of various objects and images against a yellow and blue background. The sculpture includes a black stand with a horizontal bar from which a white mesh fabric hangs, and a blue and black triangular form is suspended below. Two printed images are attached to the structure: one of a red vase with a design, and the other of a blue background with a brown object resembling a corset. The piece has a graphic and abstract quality, with a play on textures and shapes.

A cluttered workbench filled with an eclectic mix of objects including mannequin heads, books, tools, a hard hat, and various pieces of debris, all against a white background.

A photograph of a book with the title "La Condition Humaine" partially visible, resting on a red and white checkered surface. The book's cover image features a blurred outdoor scene with greenery and a person's hand holding onto a vertical structure, possibly a pole or handle. The photo is framed with a white border.

A cozy bathroom interior with a large plant in front of a window under a slanted ceiling. The sunlight filters through the leaves, casting a warm glow. A bathtub is partially visible, surrounded by dark tiles and wood paneling, with various bottles and bath accessories on its edge. The wall is adorned with a floral-patterned wallpaper.

A smiling woman in a green strapless dress with a black necklace stands against a blurred red and purple background. The image has a film strip border, suggesting a classic photograph style.
