Cheap, Insensative Photos of Blasted Ben

An
artist’s impression of Big Ben exploding like the World Trade Centre
has caused outrage among relatives of the September 11 victims.

James Cauty’s work, which shows huge fireballs exploding from the London
landmark, is an attempt to link Guy Fawkes night with the terror attacks
on America.

Mr Cauty said: "Any uncomfortable reaction to this new artwork
may reflect the proximity of the subject. If Blacksmoke 5-11 depicted
the government buildings in Baghdad or Kabul, would we pay attention?
The war on terrorism starts here."
