With growing commerce, everyone pitched in to construct a small port. It would allow for the export and import of goods, which could make everyone’s lives easier. Mule driven carts carried the rocks from the shoreline and bit by bit the reef was hammered down and removed. Coral, stones and dirt were piled together, forming an arm of uneven land that reached out into the sea, blocking the waves and forming a tranquil bay. There was now a safe landing for larger boats and a sandy beach with calm waters to wade in. The center of town shifted from the interior to the sea and cargo began to flow from up and down the coast.

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.
