Recorte de relatos is an art installation by Cecilia Barreto composed of news images of protest actions selected from major news agencies like Reuters and AP. Barreto has altered these images through painting and drawing to emphasize how the news media constructs social narratives and meanings. The images are arranged on a wall, alluding to public murals, to show how news production involves complex power dynamics between narrative, cultural influence, and the strategic interests of various groups. By cutting and reassembling these "stories," Barreto allows the images to be viewed as part of this balance of power in shaping social significance.

Recorte de relatos is a visual scene which is constructed from selection, painting
and assembly of images produced by news agencies that routinely build social narratives and their meanings. Reuters, Associated Press (AP), Agence France Presse (AFP), Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA), EFE are indeed producing organisms that build symbolic actions, "social", as an area of significance in which each player receives their identity and from which social relations are established. Of the many images produced and disseminated globally by these news agencies, Cecilia Barreto has selected the ones regarding collective protest actions which have also been used by the entertainment industry and advertising for being subjected to a series of operations which emphasizes its membership of a narrative of social conflict. The use of a wall device (which certainly reminds us of the public nature of the images and iconography of murals themselves) and the use of painting and drawing to "play" and digital photographic images that has painted the names of agencies, as well as references to the digital context, allow you to submit the narrative to different visual conditions of an updated pictorial realism flows. Cecilia achieved in this way, propose a suitable framework for the visual presentation of the social as a result of relations of production and signification in which the interests and strategies of various groups and institutions involved. Thus, assembly, painting and drawing these images -of these stories- cuts, the artist allows us to look at the images as part of a complex balance of power that involves the relationship between narrative, power and culture.
