Für ihre Kunst nutzt Ventzislavova nicht nur Installationen und Performances, sondern auch Elemente der Medienkunst, wie Videos und Fotografien. Mit ihrer Filminstallation Migration Standards bringt sie ihr Engagement für Migrationsfragen und die Überschreitung sozialer, geografischer und kultureller Grenzen zum Ausdruck. Dabei befasst sie sich außerdem mit dem komplexen Prozess der Kommunikation und Übersetzung. Sie kombiniert dokumentarische und erzählerische Elemente, Fotografien und Videos sowie Text und Ton, um Situationen und Geschichten darzustellen, bei denen die Grenze zwischen dem Persönlichen und dem Gesellschaftlichen verschwimmt. Dadurch kann sie vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Ereignisse und der Geschichte die Wechselwirkung zwischen individuellen und kollektiven Erfahrungen untersuchen. Für sie geht es nicht nur darum, die Geschichte und Rolle von Migrantinnen und Migranten in der Gesellschaft anzuerkennen und dies einzufordern, sondern auch darum, sich für soziale Gleichberechtigung einzusetzen. In ihrer Installation kombiniert sie Videos und Fotografien mit Textauszügen auf Englisch und Deutsch, die von Jugendlichen unterschiedlichen Alters vorgelesen werden. Ziel der Installation ist es, die komplexe Situation und den komplexen Status von Migrantinnen und Migranten sichtbarer zu machen.

The number of MEPs is 705 (previously 751), as some of the UK seats are allocated to existing member states to reflect demographic changes, while others are kept in reserve for when another country joins the EU.
