Anicka Yi x Casa Bosques Chocolate Edition

Exclusive for New Museum

A trilogy of rare cacao encounters — heirloom, acriollado, and self-evolved hybrid — paired with fungi, algae, minerals, and miso. Intriguingly decadent yet unwaveringly sophisticated, they balance wild invention with disciplined elegance.

Anicka Yi’s work highlights the often overlooked senses of taste and smell as powerful tools for knowing, feeling, and connecting. Rooted in biology, perfumery, and speculative thinking, her practice challenges visual dominance and reimagines how scent and flavor shape our ties to technology, ecology, and each other.

In this collaboration with Casa Bosques, Yi extends her inquiry into the biopolitics of the senses through flavors that evoke early life: the vegetal presence of algae, the strangeness of fungi, and the fermented depth of miso. Cast in a pre-Cambrian form, the chocolate becomes a sensory artifact of speculative prehistory — a portal into the shared metabolism that connects all life, past and future.
