In What You Have Given Me, I Set Free Forever, filmed in Kathmandu and shown at the Rubin Museum, Amrit Karki invites viewers to add a measure of dyed water to a receptacle from which it continuously drips on his head and spills over his body. Viewers enter the artist’s performance space, using his body to cleanse their minds and let go of what worries them. The artist offers his own body, time, and breath as the surface upon which a work of art gradually forms over a day—every day—for five consecutive days. The colored water stains his clothes as a visual reminder of the things that daily pollute and burden the mind. As the cleansing waters collect in the tub beneath the artist, viewers witness the gradual accumulation of everything the artist accepts from them and sets free. The shirts displayed in the galleries are from the performance in Kathmandu. The collection of discarded shirts signifies earthly burdens that have been cast off collectively by the artist and the participants.
