“The Grand Tour is considered the origin of tourism and led young nobles through Europe since the Renaissance: an educational journey. When today the photographer and concept artist Merlin Bauer places a series of works under this title, he travels with a sober gaze through our European cities and landscapes. In what condition have we brought them? How does the added relate to the existing?” Bauer's works examine these placements: fences, billboards and high-rises, asphalt tracks, box-shaped housing mountains.
