PEMEX, the state-owned petroleum company that had recently begun its sweep of the country, was eager to make its mark in the gulf. While more developed cities were less willing to grant access to the company without significant hand wrangling, they found someone eager to work with them in the young Mayor Henríquez. Seeing an easy sell, he reached out to their representatives directly. With no one to stop him, he was open for business, essentially giving the company free reign to do as they pleased. Santa María wasn’t even on their map yet, but the likelihood that there was oil there was quite high. Upon hearing about the results of the negotiations, a PEMEX executive was noted to have exclaimed, “Dios! This imbecile has no clue how much this is worth!”
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.
