Tiger Rug Made of 500,000 Cigarettes by Xu Bing
This piece was created by the Chinese contemporary artist Xu Bing. He’s sort of a pioneer of mixing up tobacco and art in projects, and has created many pieces trough out the last decade. The weird part is that, seen from afar, thiscigarette tiger skin rug actually does look like something an eccentric millionaire would have in his place, decorating a dark room where he goes to read and spend some alone time. Let’s just hope it’s not too close to a chimney, though, as this looks pretty flammable.
