Vogt uses a range of media and techniques in order to explore the mutability of images and objects. Her installations are frequently suspended from ropes or on moving racks, merging both sculpture, drawing, video, and photography to produce "heterogeneous constellations".{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=13 September 2015 |title=Performa 15 Announces Additional Performa Commissions by Edgar Arceneaux, Wyatt Kahn, and Oscar Murillo, and Performa Premieres by Ulla Von Brandenburg, Erika Vogt and Heather Phillipson |url=http://15.performa-arts.org/do-not-enter-or-modify-or-erase/client-uploads/PDFs/Press_Releases/PERFORMA_15_Second_Performa_Commissions.pdf |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220427082212/http://15.performa-arts.org/do-not-enter-or-modify-or-erase/client-uploads/PDFs/Press_Releases/PERFORMA_15_Second_Performa_Commissions.pdf |archive-date=27 April 2022 |accessdate= |website=15 Performa Arts |publisher=}} Vogt has specified that her background in both feminist and queer video and then later in Los Angeles with experimental film has been influential to her work.{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=20 March 2014 |title=Interview with Artist Erika Vogt |url=http://www.aestheticamagazine.com/interview-artist-erika-vogt/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806195411/https://aestheticamagazine.com/interview-artist-erika-vogt/ |archive-date=6 August 2020 |accessdate=13 September 2022 |website=Aesthetica |publisher=}}
Work
Vogt's installations can be experienced as cinematic environments.
