Name: Until Death Do Us Part by Tomas Sauvin
Availability: InStock

Until Death Do Us Part by Thomas Sauvin 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 every man invited. The bride and the groom are then invited to play some cigarette-smoking games of 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 850,000 negatives salvaged over the last ten years from a recycling plant on the edge of Beijing. Beijing Silvermine offers a unique photographic portrait of the Chinese capital and the life of its inhabitants in the decade following the Cultural Revolution.
