Sometimes the simple ideas are the most awesome: Artist Fiona Banner just took two military jets to the Tate Britain. One hung vertically, one lying on the back. The contrast between the artwork and its surrounding creates a lot of tension and in a weird way the huge objects become beautiful sculptures.

Fiona Banner has been working with the theme of war and the icon of the fighter jetplane in particular for a long time.

"I remember long sublime walks in the Welsh mountains with my father, when suddenly a fighter plane would rip through the sky, and shatter everything. It was so exciting, loud and overwhelming; it would literally take our breath away. The sound would arrive from nowhere, all you would see was a shadow and then the plane was gone.

At the time harrier jump jets were at the cutting edge of technology but to me they were like dinosaurs, prehistoric, from a time before words." – Fiona Banner
