Tiger Rug Made of 500,000 Cigarettes
China’s renowned contemporary artist Xu Bing has worked on tobacco-related projects for over ten years. Bing’s works of art, inspired by the nicotine-rich leaves, began in 2000 at Duke University.
Over a decade later, the imaginative artist is now exhibiting the third and final installment of his trilogy, known as Tobacco Project. This 440-pound rug is only one piece of his current series. The entire exhibit explores global trade, packaging, marketing, and the irony of subliminal seduction in advertising for a potentially life-threatening product.
