Her work is often characterised by a witty and overtly theatrical approach to the subject matter.

In a review of her collaborative piece ProgRock made with Tobias Laukemper Frieze editor Jan Verwoert wrote "...what they say and do, on one hand, is dead serious as it openly articulates a concern to produce an art that truthfully reflects the conditions of its own production. The conspicuous theatricality of their performance, on the other hand, suspends and displaces the meaning of any word or gesture...".^[2]
