Harrier and Jaguar


This exhibition in the Tate Britain by Fiona Banner is really stunning. Both jets that are used in the piece were used in battle in the Gulf and Bosnia. They remind me of taxidermied animals. Both are wild and dangerous and could kill you in a million ways but have been reduced to nothing more than decoration. I wish I could get to London to go see them! Besides all the emotions that these bring up for me the other thing that comes to mind is how the hell did they get those in there?!? I’d love to see an installation video, they appear to have just come from thin air, I guess that’s another part of what makes this installation so incredible.
