Marianos also knew how to have fun. They were youthful and flush with cash and wanted to spend it. They picnicked in the hills and rowed fishing boats to uninhabited islands. Without families to care for, they liked to drink and dance late into the night. Bars and beach cafés opened along the shoreline and there seemed to be a party every night of the week. They listened to jazz and smoked grass and talked about the universe. They slept with tourists and convinced them to stay around for another week or maybe a lifetime. They were wild and carefree. The world was their oyster (and they ate those too).

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.
