Through her career she has produced experimental videos and installations that have been shown around the world including the
National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., The
Biosphere in Montreal, the Musee de Arte in Rio de Janeiro and the
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. Her work is in the collections of The
Museum of Modern Art,[4] and The
Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. Batsry has received numerous awards, notably the Bucksbaum Award for her work shown at the Whitney Museum's Biennial Exhibition in 2002.
She has lived and worked in New York since 1983.
Batsry's work displays ephemeral transitory images that are difficult to process rationally. Her interest in the notion of perception became more pronounced in the early 1990s when she studied the work of
Buckminster Fuller, in particular his vision disorder that caused a near constant blurring of images. She produced several works inspired by Fuller including "A Simple Case of Vision" and "Of Persistence of Absence." Each examined the idea of distortion and perception through video and space.
