He works in various media including drawing, graphic arts, photography, computer drawings, painting, glass painting, sculpture (wood, iron, aluminum, concrete) and creates art projects in various architectural and urban contexts (New York; Vienna, St. Veit/Salzburg, St. Pölten/Austria; Sonnenhausen, Tübingen/Germany).[ citation needed ] He has done work in churches (Brussels/Belgium; Frankfurt, Bonn, Aschaffenburg/Germany; Graz, Innsbruck/Austria). Between 1998 and 2000, he led a class for aesthetics in space at the International Summer Academy at Topolcianky/Slovakia.[ citation needed ]

In the early 1990s, Zogmayer transitioned from narrative and expressive forms of art, such as painting and drawing, to creating installations based on clear stereometric forms. His later works feature words and texts integrated into paintings and glass sculptures, exploring themes such as beauty, intercultural discourse, and spirituality.
