" In the early 1960s Richard Berger was given a book of images of the Sun Temple at Konarak on the eastern coast of India in Orissa, sparking a lifelong obsession that culminated in his visit there in 2001. Since then, he has created two large-scale models of the temple. Berger’s scale models represent, after many years of research, a kind-of reenactment o the portions of the largely ruined temple, particularly the tower that was destroyed centuries ago. These analyses inform Berger’s constructions—montages of kinetic sculpture and drawing—examining the temple as a cultural and societal prosthetic to complete “what’s not there.”
