Through works that engage not only sight, hearing and touch but also smell and taste, and approaches that fuse life with advanced technology, she continues to expand the field of artistic expression. Yi received the Hugo Boss Prize in 2016, and has taken part in many international exhibitions, including the Whitney Biennial (2017) and the 58th Venice Biennale (2019). In 2021 she held a solo exhibition in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern (London) as the Hyundai Commission.
