"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 850 000 negatives salvaged over the years from a recycling plant on the edge of Beijing.

《双喜》聚焦于香烟在中国婚宴上所扮演的令人意想不到的角色。 在中国婚宴中，通常新娘要为每一位男士来宾点燃一支烟以表感谢。新娘和新郎会被邀请玩一些粗糙质朴的抽烟游戏，这本书正是向这个爱与死亡并肩的传统致敬。里面照片来自 "北京银矿"——一个由 85 万余张从北京郊区回收站逐年抢救回来的废旧底片组成的档案库。
