Her works deal, among other things, with the fiction of everyday life and theater. She works with different partners, often in the form of role changes: From project to project, each artist takes on the role of guest or host in turn. One of her alter egos is the horse whisperer and dancer Werner Hirsch, who appears as an independent persona, but also together with Antonia Baehr, for example in Make up. At Antonia Baehr's and Werner Hirsch's table (2013). Other personas are Henri Fleur (a French landowner), the filmmaker Reiner Werner, the drag queen Frau Böse and Ida Wilde's husband Henry Wilde.

Longstanding artistic cooperation projects exist with, among others, William Wheeler, Valérie Castan, Sabine Ercklentz and Lindy Annis, and more recently with Neo Hülcker and Latifa Laâbissi.
