"I don't remember
lighting this cigarette
and I don't remember
if I'm here alone
or waiting for someone."
— Leonard Cohen

smoking kills









in 'cigarette ash landscape', an installation by chinese photographer and artist yang yongliang,
black and white photographs are collaged and piled to mimic cigarette ash.

the tip of a huge cigarette sculpture hung vertically in the installation space is revealed upon closer view
to consist of cut and layered images of city skylines. below, a pile of ash, 
composed of small rectangular image cutouts, sits upon a length of fake grass scattered with artificial flowers.
