“Come on boys. Santa María’s the place! They say the mezcal flows like rain and the women outnumber the men 3 to 1. There’s game to hunt and fish to catch. Strong men with smarts and good looks can live like kings in this beachside paradise. Find a nice gal to cook for you and build a life. You can learn to paint and sail. There’s no noise or car horns. No guns or loud speakers. No need to fight and divide. All are welcome, they say. It doesn’t matter who your parents were. Silver spoon or dried out gourd. That all gets left behind on the docks. You are who you are today and there’s no looking back. So, come on boys, grab your hats. The boat is ours to miss and it’s not going to wait!”

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.
