Two artists have offered Czechs angered by politics the chance to take revenge on their lawmakers by shooting them in the face, by turning their photos into air gun targets.
兩名藝術家藉由將國會議員的照片變成空氣槍標靶，讓民眾射擊其臉部的方式，提供被政治激怒的捷克人對他們報復的機會。
Tomas Cap and Michal Kraus have displayed the portraits of 200 lower-house deputies in plastic boxes on the wall of a Prague alternative gallery, in front of an air gun and a boxful of ammunition.
卡普與克勞斯把200張下議院議員的肖像，展示於裝置在布拉格另類美術館牆面的塑膠盒上，而前方則是一把空氣槍與一箱彈藥。
"We have seen lawmakers breach the promises they gave to voters so many times. The visitors of the gallery have a unique opportunity to show these politicians what they think," the artists said in a statement.
「我們看到國會議員是如此頻繁地背棄對選民的承諾，美術館的來賓有獨特的機會來展現他們對這些政治人物的觀感。」這兩位藝術家聲明表示。
Two weeks after opening, the exhibition was a sad sight as most of the faces had been heavily damaged by airgun slugs, with some destroyed beyond recognition.
開展兩週後，展覽景象悲慘，因為絕大部分的臉遭空氣槍子彈嚴重毀損，部分還被毀得無法辨識。
Opposition chief Jiri Paroubek was the worst hit with most of his face missing in the picture, followed by his ally David Rath and Interior Minister Ivan Langer.
反對黨主席帕羅貝克被打得最慘，照片中他大部分的臉已不見，緊追在後的是他的盟友拉斯與內政部長蘭格。
