In 2018, Rasmussen participated in Art Basel Hong Kong.[5] Also in 2018, Rasmussen created Tow with the Flow after being commissioned by ART 2030 to create a performance with the subject of sustainable consumption.[6][7] In 2019, Tow with the Flow was included in the Art Palm Beach in Florida.[8]

In 2022 through early 2023, the Helsinki Art Museum exhibited Rasmussen's I am Not What You See.[9][10][11]
