By parodying mass media by exaggerating certain formal aspects inherent to our contemporary society, Tum Suden makes works that can be seen as self-portraits. Sometimes they appear idiosyncratic and quirky, at other times, they seem typical by-products of American superabundance and marketing. His photos feature coincidental, accidental and unexpected assemblage connections which make it possible to revise art history and, even better, to complement it. Combining unrelated aspects lead to surprising analogies. The possible seems true and the truth exists, but it has many faces, as Hanna Arendt cites from Franz Kafka. He showed with Tibor de Nagy in the 60's when he was showing the likes of Robert Goodnough, Grace Hartigan, Joyce Kozloff, Rafael Mahdavi, Peter Reginato, Larry Rivers, Jack Tworkov, Carl Andre and other important artists.
His art is found in private collections in California, Canada, England and Japan and in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, MoMA, the Chase Manhattan Bank, and the Larry Aldrich Museum.
