Anicka Yi: Hugo Boss Prize 2016 Winner

Anicka Yi, Hugo Boss Prize 2016 winner, discusses her scientific approach to art making and the desire to create work that engages all of our senses, not just sight. Yi talks about the importance of narrative in her work and also touches on utilizing scientific processes and techniques, employing bacteria as a “paint” medium, and making perishable artworks.

I am entirely unmoved. This was like to some high culture starvation for meaning and she gets elevated for it. I feel like I fell down an elevator shaft just to get my feeling back for what's real.

That's because it's an installation work - to experience, you need to be there to see it in person. Otherwise it's like she says: the primary mode of experiencing the world, sight, is not enough to paint a full picture of it
