On the outskirts of town, where no one was living, they built their ranchos. They tilled the soil and planted their seeds and nurtured them so they would grow. Day after day they cared for them as if they were their own children. They spoke to them and sang songs of hope. Each night in the cathedral, where a detailed wooden santo modeled after the Virgin, carved by a Kickapoo convert, had been erected in a small chapel, they prayed and prayed for a miracle. Night after night until their knees were bruised. They got what they desired. The spring rains were a surprise that season and the crops grew strong and plentiful. The harvest was as rich as any they ever had. They had found a new home and the legend continued to spread.
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.
