Funeral invitations came into use in the 17th century and originally functioned as admission tickets because space in the church and at the funeral feast was limited. The invitations were incredibly ornate and depicted classic symbols such as hour glasses and skulls.
RSVP is a fresh look at this tradition. It is a collection of work made in a number of different mediums and styles by 25 international artists.
