Around town he was known as El Tortuguero, or the Turtle Catcher. He was born into a line of Malpucano hunters and it was said he was once stranded for weeks on an island as a child and drank turtle blood to stay alive. His attachment to them was more than sustenance. He would dream of them. Of being one of them. Swimming across the ocean. Pulling himself on the beach with all his strength, laying his eggs. When he awoke, he knew where to find them. Where to find their eggs. He dreamed of them coming here after the bay was formed and followed them. Loras, verdes, careys and caguamas. There were plenty, but he took only what he needed. In a thatched hut near the beach, tourists would take photos with him as he was salting and drying the meat or cooking it right in a turned over shell set over a fire.
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.
