Postcards For A Grand Tour


Tucker Neel

I made a few cards on my travels. They were an interesting way to respond to each place, a kind of diary.
I left this card outside of The Pantheon in Rome. I left this card outside of The Pantheon in Rome.

I thought another tourist might find it useful. I certainly didn't want to come home. I placed it near the Brandenburg Gate after watching a newlywed couple and their 10 or so friends pose with their Lamborghini in front of this landmark. They took pictures then got in their cars and honked and honked all around the city. It was insane. I left this card with a picture of my Nephew playing at a water park. I tucked it in a fence near La Basilique du Sacré Cœur de Montmartre just before it began to rain. I left this card with a picture of my Nephew playing at a water park.

Straight up used the black and white reproduction of the Mona Lisa from an art history textbook from the 1970s for this. Also placed a few of these cards with the Mona Lisa postcards in the Louvre's gift shop. The presence of the original is not a prerequisite.  Straight up used the black and white reproduction of the Mona Lisa from an art history textbook from the 1970s for this.

I left it at the gay history monument near the city center of Brussels. The monument has names of famous queers from the past and present. I left this card at the gate as my flight left Heathrow airport on its way back to Los Angeles. I was very excited to see my dog.
