Until Death Do Us Part (first edition)
by Thomas Sauvin
Photographs: Silvermine Archive
Publisher: Jiazazhi press
108 pages
Year: 2015
Comments: 53 x 83 x 21mm, paperback, Hardcover, with a cigarette box, edition of 1000 copies
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 of 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.
