Deganit studied painting with Rafi Lavie. In the 1970s, after graduating from Bezalel Academy of Art & Design, she began to incorporate photography in her work inspired by American conceptual art. In "Dead Sea Atlas" (1976), for example, she uses a map of the Dead Sea from a school atlas which is increasingly magnified. The changing dimensions of the photograph blur the image.

In the 1980s, Berest's paintings employed the arbitrary rules of early conceptual art.In 1989, she showed "Loch Ness Investigations," featuring pseudo-scientific images and images connected to the sea. The figure of a swimmer on a surfboard, first used here, reappears in many of her later works. Berest breaks down the figure into patches of color, similar to the pixels of a photograph or a pointillist painting. In this way, Berest erodes the physical presence of an object. From the 1990s, her paintings explore distorted vision and transcription of images. Much of her work is biographical.
