Abstract

This article aims to analyse the video “911” produced by the collective of photographers Cia de Foto to reflect about its technical and aesthetical characteristics that point to new forms of editing and presenting the subjects in contemporary documentary photography. When combining static and moving images, the collective challenges the traditional model of the realistic narratives made by photojournalism and classic documentary throughout the 20th century. In “911”, the fiction is assumed by Cia de Foto as a way of constructing news visualities and representations of the social issues in the world today.
