Ujj Zsuzsi presented her first exhibitions and concerts together. In her oeuvre, the visual arts and poetry that is sung are organically fused, as for instance in the case of Fürst Január ICY (Baksa Soós János), fe Lugossy László, and Nah Te (Vető János). Her knowledge of the oeuvre of the Hajas Tibor, who died at a tragically young age in 1980, was decisive in her work.

In her publication issued on the occasion of her first exhibition and concert (First brochure - Liget Gallery, 1987) she presented twenty-nine photographs and twenty-eight lyrics, along with some scores. Later, she created new photographic works (with the technical assistance of István Halas) in response to invitations to exhibit.

In 1991, she gave up photography. She has since written poems, songs and non-public texts. As the singer and author of the band Csókolom, she published musical recordings in 1994, 1995, 2000, and 2006.

Her visual works consist of carefully arranged black and white photographs and moving images. These images document her non-public performances. Interest in her works became more lively in the second half of the first decade of the new millennium, along with increasing interest in issues of gender representation.

The underground periodical Dzimtene (The Motherland) was published in 1950 and 1951 by Vilis Toms, a member of the Association of Latvian National Partisans (as editor), and Broņislava Martuževa. The periodical was written and copied by hand, because there were no possibilities for printing it. Each of the 11 issues was copied out by Martuževa by hand, up to ten copies. One problem was the distribution of the periodical. Martuževa thought of putting it in the letter boxes of local people. However, some copies were instantly obtained by state security organs. The May 1950 issue of the periodical consists of 16 pages. The cover was made by Pēteris Logins.
