Asia Society Hong Kong Center (ASHK) is pleased to host a presentation and dialogue with Richard Se, a photographer with an architect's eye for form and detail, on his debut photographic book, Seeing Borobudur - Lalita Vistara Reliefs. He will be in conversation with T.K. Sabapathy, esteemed art historian and curator, about the subject of his book โ€“ Borobudur, Indonesia โ€“ one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world.


Built in the 8th and 9th centuries and spanning a breathtaking 2,500 m2, Borobudur is the world's largest Buddhist temple. Within it are 1,460 relief panels, 120 of which โ€“ the Lalita Vistara series โ€“ are the focus of Richard's book. These are the first reliefs that greet visitors as they enter through the East gate. Featured in these selected reliefs are vivid narratives that chronicle the Buddha's mortal life, each showing a specific event or experience in the life of the Buddha. Those with an interest in Buddhism and those intrigued by the iconic site will appreciate the insight into a photographic perspective of Borobudur. Richard and T.K. will also discuss the historical context and artistic foundations of the visuals presented in the book.


Complementing the talk will be a small exhibition of Richard's other photographic works chronicling his fascination with Borobudur, including unpublished photographs and curated panels of reliefs that further showcase Borobudur's majesty. Join ASHK to hear from Richard and learn more about his nearly two-decade long pursuit of the site.
