Santa María soon stretched far from the coast and into the hills. The original core of the town became known as the Barrio Antiguo, though it wasn’t really that old. On what was once the outskirts of town, where you would find a tangled mess of ranchos interwoven with patches of trees and scrub, Santa María Nueva began. There was space here to spread out and spread out they did. Shovels dug into the earth, forming it to anyone’s liking. The town’s isolation was quickly disintegrating. Satellite villages appeared, clusters of downtrodden homes and basic services, radiating around the heart of town in every direction. Roads shot out from all sides, arteries of development that spawned new branches, which spawned new branches and new branches upon those, forming a vast complex of streets.
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.
