Darren Bader has concluded his tour but not before completing the Scott Mendes Comic Book Trilogy. The journey began in 2019 with the Biennale premiere of "Scott Mendes's Venice," followed by "Pleonasm" in 2021, and now, in 2023, "Tinar Cadiägo" arrives on ethereal currents. This trilogy, packaged together, is filled with peculiarities, faux advertisements, dubious profundities, and a steadfast belief in visual literature (visual translation by Erica Ohmi). Whether Scott Mendes returns or not, the tour's legacy will endure.
