Until Death Do Us Part by Thomas Sauvin
Published by Jiazazhi Press in 2015
First printing. Edition of 1000. 108 pages, hard stock, comes in a cigarette box.
A truly inventive book in design and scope. Small in size, it looks like a stack of cigarettes in a cigarette box. Such a great presentation. This book has become a sensation and is now in its forth printing. The 1st printings are become scarce.
From the publisher:
“Until Death Do Us Part focuses on the unexpected role cigarettes play in Chinese weddings. As a token of appreciation, it is customary for the bride to light a cigarette for each and every man invited. The bride and the groom are then invited to play some cigarette-smoking games o f an unprecedented ingenuousness. This publication pays homage to a tradition in which love and death walk hand in hand.
These photos come from the Beijing Silvermine project, an archive of half a million negatives salvaged over the years from a recycling plant on the edge of Beijing.”
In excellent, like new condition.
