In his solo work he utilizes found-object animation, in which he takes objects as varied as coffee pots and humidifiers and turns them into elements of political satire.

In 1989, Zaloom appeared in The Unnaturals, a sketch comedy series featuring Tim Blake Nelson, John Mariano and Siobhan Fallon Hogan.

His latest effort tackles social issues such as privacy, the war on terrorism, and discrimination based on sexual orientation and ethnicity.

Aside from shadow-puppetry, Zaloom's idiosyncratic work utilizes techniques such as overhead projection, government document expose, cantastoria picture performance, toy theater, as well as hand, rod, found object and dummy puppets.
