Every seat on the ferries were filled with roughnecks who rented every room in town. They were sold out for weeks. Somebody had bought up all of the tickets for groups of hulking men with hardened faces and tattered clothing. They clearly had a job to do. Wells were dug. Trees were cut down. Buildings were constructed. Piles of coal as tall as houses scented the air where you could once smell jocotes. There were loud booms and bangs. Orange flames rose above the treetops and fat waves of smoke blacked out the sun. No one knew anything. No one said anything. They just kept moving as if they owned the place. What was all of this? Why were these men here? Where did they come from? Who sent them?
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.
