Oppenheim's work plays with the process of creating photographs and film. Her pieces often question the documentary genre as well as the concept of an archive. In utilizing archival sources, she interrogates and reappropriates the archival function of narrative-making and -omitting, and how narrative and imagery are intertwined, but ultimately separate. In work such as Lunagrams, 2010, she exposed archival glass negatives using moonlight. Oppenheim experiments with time as a force of art and imagery. She has done works in fiber arts, using strings, ropes and fabric. Her works in fiber arts were displayed in her Gramma exhibition at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery. Oppenheim had solo and group exhibitions at international venues including The Approach Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, Grazer Kunstverein, the Whitechapel Gallery, and the Museum of Modern Art,
