. Yi cites writing as a primary element of her practice. In an interview with Ross Simonini, she explained, "Writing is one of my primary tools. I often discover my thoughts about the work through writing. Syntax, sentence structure . . . these things really help. I write a lot of backstory for my sculptures, as if they’re characters in a novel or screenplay. I share this writing with friends, but no one else sees it. I’m not really a visual person. I don’t think in images. I don’t sketch things. I don’t use visual references as much as I should. It’s a huge handicap for me. My writing doesn’t capture the idea for the work as a sketch would. So maybe I’m not working in the most productive way. My starting point is verbal." She has also described her process as similar but an inverted version of the scientific process as employed in science labs. "Scientists have their hypothesis and then spend the next 20 or 30 years of their career trying to prove it, whereas artists won’t really understand what their hypothesis was until the end of their career."

"The Art and Science of Bacteria", She described that she wanted this work to explore the "patriarchal fear" surrounding hygiene and the female body. In the exhibition, Yi aimed to represent women's body in the form of smells rather than sights, denouncing what ''New Yorker'' writer Andrea K. Scott writes as "salacious male expectations".

"Life is Cheap" at the Guggenheim Museum

Yi was the winner of the biannual 2016 Hugo Boss Prize presented by the Guggenheim. In 2017, Yi debuted at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Guggenheim with the exhibition ''Life Is Cheap,'' which explores her "sociopolitical interest in the olfactive." In the entrance of this exhibit, visitors encountered an aroma designed by the artist to be a hybrid scent of ants and Asian American women and named ''Immigrant Cactus''.Karen Rosenberg

''The New York Times'', May 11, 2017 The central gallery space has two works facing each other with distinct, contained biospheres. One work, enclosed in a temperature-regulated space, ''Force Majeure'' features plexiglass tiles covered in agar on which bacteria, sourced from Chinatown and Koreatown in Manhattan, grows. The other work, ''Lifestyle Wars'' contains a colony of ants on a structure that resembles a circuit board, referencing the organization of society and the relationship of technology to this ordering. Anicka Yi at the Guggenheim

In a video produced by the Guggenheim, Yi explains that "You're dealing with a society that is overly obsessed with cleanliness. And that's partially why I do work with bacteria as a material. Especially in the west, we have this morbid fear of pungent aromas, of bacteria. I'm giving a kind of visualization to people's anxieties about all the germs and bacteria that are proliferating all around us."

consisted of two sculptural installations. ''Biologizing the Machine (tentacular trouble)'' featured a grouping of illuminated cocoon-like pods made from stretched strips of dried kelp, which contained animatronic moths, whose shadows cast on the walls of the pods signify their fluttering presence. Beneath the pods, a curvaceous concrete base is marked by burbling ponds of water housed in craters that sit at the foot of each pendant sculpture. The surface recalls the lunar landscape or perhaps that of another celestial body, gesturing towards the evolution of life, despite all, in inhospitable locales—what biologists call

The other form of organism is a planulae, which is similar to an

Within a set of predetermined parameters, the aerobes moved about the hall according to movements of their own design, occasionally nesting in a maintenance area to have their batteries recharged, before rejoining the biosphere the artist devised as their environment.
