Artist Roger Hiorns has ambitious plans for Birmingham in 2017, submerging a complete passenger aircraft seven metres under the surface of the city street.

"My motive in burying the plane," says Hiorns "is to introduce a new territory to the world and to encourage the mind to be present in a new place, surreal and at odds with general accepted realities, this new object very literally tears through the established order and the established surfaces of our present reality.”

I make no apologies for loving this kind of thing.
