Maria Korporal's artistic production includes video art, interactive projects, installations and drawings.[5] A project of more than 50 drawings and paintings dedicated to the music of Gustav Mahler, Das Lied von der Erde (1988/89)[6][7] is one of the most important results of her early period in Italy. Activities at her publishing house, Apeiron Editori, stimulated Korporal's involvement with artists' books, of which Satori Soractis (1990)[8] and Contrapuncti (1991)[9] are representative and important for the 1990s.

Since 1998, the artist has been working mainly with new media. Her multimedia works are designed with a wide variety of techniques. The narrative aspect plays a major role in her work. Especially her interactive installations challenge the viewer to participate. Her works play with virtuality and reality, with undergone and artificially generated experiences. Most of her projects deal with social and environmental issues.[10] Particularly noteworthy are projects developed over several years. From 1998 to 2004 Maria Korporal created several installations consisting of computer-processed images, structured like a video wall with imitated screens. Contemporary imagery finds its way largely through screens (television, internet), which has an important impact on the way reality is seen and experienced, as the artist explains about The Rebellious Egg (2004)[11] and also about her cylindrical installation The Eye of the Golem (2000-2018).[12] Golem becomes a symbol of technology and a representative of modern thinking par excellence, able to adapt to different times and circumstances and see itself. Her project Korporal Zoo,[13] a series of video works between 2010 and 2018, observes the animal and human world from cultural, social, and environmental perspectives. Each work is an animated mix of footage in photo and film as well as drawings and collages, a standout example being Reynard the Fox.[14] Since 2021, the artist has returned to working with analog charcoal drawings, creating charcoal and pastel animations, such as S.A.D. (2021)[15] and The Wishing Table (2023).[16] The Breathearth Project (2016-2022)[17] and Emergency Call (2019-2022)[18] are interactive video installations that address the Earth and its changes, natural vegetation disappearing, climatological extremes occurring worldwide.[19] Korporal also develops a form of 360° video and works with virtual reality, as well as augmented reality. In her works such as Pervitin Power (2021),[20] Qorporal Qodes (2022)[21] and Qat Qube (2023),[22] she uses a combination of analog and digital techniques to explore certain themes in depth.

Maria Korporal is an active member of the Verein Berliner Künstler (Association of Berlin Artists) and the project space Group Global 3000 - Art and Other Sustainabilities in Berlin. Her videos are represented in Italy by VisualContainer,[23] Milan.
