A BBluesky Production Director: Leslie Ng Cinematographer: Fung Kai Shing Music: Tommy Wai How many people does it take to move a giant Buddha head? Find out in this video shot at Asia Society Hong Kong Center earlier this year. The Buddha head in question is "Long Island Buddha," a 2011 sculpture made of copper and steel by Chinese artist Zhang Huan, who splits time between Shanghai and New York. The head measures 68 x 89 x 70 inches. If you are in Hong Kong, you can catch Zhang's sculpture — which is part of Asia Society's Transforming Minds: Buddhism in Art exhibition — until May 20.
