路透社報導，捷克一名裝置藝術家重新設計了一輛雙層巴士，使英國倫敦的傳統象徵多了一分趣味！為慶祝將於27日開幕的倫敦奧運，他將一台廢棄的雙層巴士裝上兩隻紅色手臂，且此手臂可藉由彎曲以及伸直，展現出雙層巴士做伏地挺身的有趣模樣。
捷克藝術家大衛．塞爾尼（David Cerny）從荷蘭購入一台1957年的雙層巴士，並為其裝上兩隻手臂以及一個電動馬達，使身為倫敦象徵的傳統雙層巴士增添趣味，他將此最新的藝術作品取名為「舉高倫敦」（London Boosted），放置在位於倫敦的捷克奧運大樓外（Czech Olympic House）。
「舉高倫敦」內的電動馬達可帶動重達6公噸的雙層巴士上下移動，並以兩隻手臂為移動重心，讓它就像在做伏地挺身一般，且巴士的移動更會搭配著預錄的吱嘎聲，及巴士窗戶內的影片投射，使其更為擬真。
塞爾尼表示，伏地挺身不僅是全世界各項運動選手的共同運動，同時也是軍中和監牢中的懲罰，因此伏地挺身是一種普世身體活動，但這樣看來也相當諷刺。
塞爾尼的藝術作品常惹來爭議，如2009年於布魯塞爾的歐盟大樓外，他的裝置藝術作品惡搞歐盟各國，以不同的具體事物來諷刺各國的所作所為，其中保加利亞的形象為一蹲式馬桶，因為保加利亞為衛生設備出口大國，或以空白表示英國，因為英國不熱衷歐洲事務。(自由時報)
