Renowned artist Xu Bing has created a giant tiger skin rug made out of nothing but cigarettes stood on end. Over half a million smokes were used to create the piece, which is supposedly inspired by the artist’s recent visit to tobacco farms and factories.
With the average price of cigarettes in the U.S., at $5.29 a pack, the “rug” is worth over $130,000. It’s a wonder he didn’t make a camel.
