Her work involves scent, tactility and perishability as a means to reconfigure the epistemological and sensorial terms of a predominantly visual art world. In her 2015 show at The Kitchen in New York City, You Can Call Me F, Anicka took swabs from 100 women and with the help of MIT synthetic biologist Tal Danino cultivated the bacteria in an agar billboard that “assaults visitors” to help answer the question “What does feminism smell like?"
Her work has been compared to Joseph Beuys. Yi was the winner of the biannual 2016 Hugo Boss Prize presented by the Guggenheim.
