When the fetus inside of Sofía’s womb could no longer be kept hidden, Raúl was beaten and bloodied by Armando. When he declared to his daughter to never come into contact with that boy again, Sofía planned her escape. Raúl pleaded with her to stay, to try to convince her father of their intentions, but she insisted. In the dead of night, they commandeered a fishing boat. Strong and confident, Raúl rowed along the coast for an hour or two, until a storm appeared. He was no match for the westerly winds and thick rain. The boat tossed back and forth as the storm grew more intense. Waves crashed over them. They held on for their lives, but hope was fading. Through the mist, he saw an apparition of the Virgin Mary, a shining beacon on the rocks, giving Raúl the strength to paddle back to the place they set off from.

Santa Maria de las Rocas collection image

A novella by Nicholas Gill and Alejandro Cartagena.

A collection of 151 “expired photographs” that were thrown out, collected from a tianguis outside of Mexico City by photographer and archivist Alejandro Cartagena and then pieced together and reimagined by writer Nicholas Gill. The 151-page novella tells the tale of the fictional town of Santa María de las Rocas, located in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.

The story traces this coastal community from its humble origins at the turn of the century to the 1980s, as it corresponds to real events in the history of this corner of Mexico. As years pass, the landscape changes and the community grows and develops. There’s corruption and violence, magic and hope. Characters fall in love and fall apart. Their voices are heard. Their songs are sung.

The existence of this project is designed to question the very nature of storytelling and its possibilities in the digital age. As such, it’s done as a CO0, for free public use.
