EXPO MILANO 2015 EXHIBITION SPACE 
AT THE INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION OF YEOSU 2012

The Italian Pavilion at Yeosu 2012 is about the Italian heritage, culture and identity related to the sea: Italy is first of all a country of seafarers, explorers and fishermen, deeply linked to the sea, a source of energy and inspiration at the same time for its people and culture. The exhibition path reaches its climax by showing the most influential people and advancements that nowadays are present in our country and regions, within the fields of scientific innovation and Blue Economy linked to the theme of the sea and the oceans.

Within this framework and as a best preview of the “Italy of the Future”, the installation “The event beyond the curtain” has been conceived  to show up and promote the Universal Exposition of Milan that will be held in 2015. The visitor will be involved through a fascinating atmosphere: a sophisticated use of lights and colors will give life to a curtain covering the walls of the pavilion, creating the illusion of being in front of the real opening ceremony of the next Universal Exhibition. 

World Food Table: The setting will focus on the theme of Expo Milano 2015: Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life; in this regard, the “world food table” has been chosen as the main iconic element: it is an installation that will explain the different ways of “eating together” by showing “the table and the instruments” typical of different cultures around the world. The visitor will be able to interact with a sensor and create scenarios of the habits of different Peoples, finding out similarities and differences among the ways of eating around the world. The setting will also provide the opportunity for the visitors to get more information about the way of perceiving food and the ways to approach to it among the different cultures of the World.

Video Art Show: The exhibition will also provide a video art show that will involve the visitor within a journey made of pictures and sounds, starting from the theme of Yeosu 2012 and reaching the themes of Expo Milano 2015 in a highly symbolic and figurative way. This installation will also interact with the Expo Digital Gallery and could favor the visit of the Italian Pavilion. 

Aqua Feeds You: Towards the end of the exhibition path the installation Aqua feeds you will be the meeting place with the visitor, to whom will be offered some water (feeding, comfort, refreshment,  sight regeneration). In this way water, both the main theme of Yeosu 2015 and  vital element also at the center of the Expo Milano 2015, will be the link between Yeosu and the next Universal Exhibition.

The visitor will drink by using a single tool named “the traveler tool”, a folding glass to be used as a necklace, with the Expo 2015 logo and in different colors. The “traveler tool” will also have a QR code inside, allowing the visitor to activate a direct link to the internet website and be included within the mailing list of Expo Milano 2015. In this way the visitor at Yeosu 2015 will act as a testimonial of Expo Milano 2015 and of Italy meeting the other visitors and, once back at home,  will be able to put in practice what he/she learned thanks to the visit at Expo Yeosu 2012.

Location The Italian Pavilion: The Italian Pavilion is set at the ground floor of the Exhibition Space destined to the host International Countries at Yeosu 2012. It is set in the space highlighted in the picture above.
