Some did know what was going on. They knew where the paper trail went. They knew that nearly everything that was created here, wasn’t really owned by them. If they said something, they would miss out too. When people began to question reality, arguments broke out, but they maintained their silence. They knew what was going to happen, though not necessarily when. They knew those with the authority would use that power to enrich themselves. It was only a matter of time. Those in power didn’t care about the farmers and fishermen. The clerk at the inn or the cook in the cantina. They were just pawns in someone else’s long game. It was theirs to lose, but the game had been rigged the entire time.

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.
