She manipulates the photographic, chemical and material properties of film to transform the world framed by her camera, bringing about moving images that exist between figuration and abstraction, exterior vision and interior landscape. Weisgerber is a member of the Double Negative Collective, a group of moving image artists dedicated to creating and exhibiting experimental and avant-garde cinema and maintaining a self-managed artisanal film lab. Since 2019, she is a member of Jerusalem in My Heart, an audiovisual performance project, with Lebanese producer and musician Radwan Ghazi Moumneh.
