The plaza was the informal town center, though calling it a plaza was a bit of a stretch. It was really nothing more than the place where the scrub was trampled down or kicked away more than anywhere else. As more people arrived, a more formal plaza began to develop. The cathedral was expanded and took up one entire side of it. Townhouses, shops and restaurants were erected on opposing sides and a fountain was established in the very center. Large stones were laid to pave the square, so at any given moment you were likely to hear the clanking of horseshoes trotting across them, echoing into the abyss. Too hot during the day and lacking shade, the plaza was mostly empty during the daylight hours. In the afternoons, as the sun dropped behind the Sierra Madres, it came alive with activity.
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.
