Despite the doubts of a few, a new era of Santa María was initiated. Most welcomed the progress. No one was worried about having enough food to eat. There were doctors and hospitals to care for the sick. Things were much easier than they once were. No one was stuck here. They could go places! With ease. They could drive to other towns and cities. New ideas flowed in and out. The city was more connected to the world at large than ever before. Santa María started to look like other cities too. It had many of the same shops and restaurants. On some streets, it was hard to tell it apart from anywhere else.

Santa Maria de las Rocas collection image

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.
