A thousand kilometers away, a man in an office named Roberto Quiñones was carving up portions of Santa María to the highest bidders. There was oil in this land, and oil, by God, was in demand. They were lucky, he thought. A worthless place, full of pointless trees and impecunious Indians living in the dirt, about to have their entire world turned upside down for the better. Now there was value. Build a hotel! Build a foundry! Build a bakery! Build a mine! Make it easier for others to come and do the same. Growth is good! They will fulfill essential services and make decent scratch. Buy houses instead of building them. Buy food instead of growing it. Let others do the work and live a respectable life. An undeveloped swamp of desolation no more.
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.
