Oil would change everything in Santa María, but no one expected it. Initially, few took notice of the drill that was set up on Playa Los Camarones, one of Santa María’s more remote beaches. It was just there one day. Standing tall and proud like a tree. If you weren’t looking for it, you wouldn’t have realized what it was. Horses outnumbered automobiles by 30 to 1, so few realized the potential of this copious black nectar that was rumored to have been lurking beneath the ground. If gold was found, forget it. All of Santa María – men, women and children – would have been panning the streams and hammering away at rocks. But oil? Just some gabacho fantasy.
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.
