In this collaboration from 2013 Illy worked with multifaceted Chinese artist Liu Wei 

Liu Wei is a Chinese contemporary spotlight with active young artists, widely involved in sculpture, photography, video, installation, painting and other fields. Born in 1970, he has been the shape of thingsaround us with the reason for the formation of deep interest. Alluding to his previous work with the cultural, social, political, compared from 2009 to 2011, his recent works focus on the material and constitute the relationship between the object world, trying to "get rid of simple materials, the intrinsic value of their ownfeelings of substances , "which evolved from his series of installations" This is just a mistake, "and his famouspainting" Purple "and the latest" meditation "series works is evident.

Liu Wei's works are in Oslo, Norway Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Shanghai Minsheng Art Museum,the Sigg Collection (Sigg Collection), Ullens Collection (the Ullens Collection), and other well-known exhibitioncollection.
