Unicorns are a recurring theme in the Malerduo Bošković-Scarth’s work, serving both as trendy, kitschy motifs and as projection surfaces for nostalgia and escapism. Inspired by their ambiguous existence—ubiquitous yet unreal—and the long history of debates around their existence dating back to antiquity, they propose Einhorn Spezialitäten AG: an installation that mimics a shop selling unicorn specialties.

The shop will feature a range of fictional products made from or with unicorns — from water-purifying horns (historically narwhal tusks, sold by Inuit communities to Europeans as "unicorn horns") to unicorn cheese and meat. Each product engages with familiar ideas people associate with unicorns, while simultaneously opening up questions about the commodification and consumption of magical objects.

The project also critically reflects on the aesthetic and cultural practices surrounding the consumption of animal products — and their substitutes that aim to look and taste the same.

Since unicorns don’t exist, the inevitable question arises: what exactly are these products made of?
