Yi Ou Lai
Recipient Collective and Xiao Ke dance company have been invited by Italian curator Davide Quadrio to create a show in Suzhou, near Shanghai. The underlying theme of the show was the encounter, the influence and the mutual fascination between Chinese and European culture. Through the choreography of Xiao Ke and our visuals we tried to tell the story of how, from the legendary travels of Marco Polo, the contact between these two civilisations has been so incisive in terms of literature, art, architecture, fashion and how the fruits of that encounter in the distant past still reverberate in contemporary culture.

Eat Mapping
For the presentation of the EAT rebrand, Recipient Collective made a 180° projection mapping at the Sala D’onore of Triennale di Milano. The mapping connected the history of Triennale, related to the concepts of innovation and quality with the idea of food expressed by EAT and showed, in the form of allegory, the power of few good eating habits. In an environment dominated by a series of abstract, rigid and dark objects, some small organic shapes, inspired by nature (plants, vegetables and flowers), begin slowly to contaminate and interact with rigid bodies making them soft and colorful, suggesting that a few good habits and a little attention can generate radical positive changes. The allegorical narrative is divided into four moments, each of which represented with colors, shapes and rhythms that evoke the four seasons of the year, promoting an idea of the food strongly linked to seasonality.
