Shady characters started to gravitate to this bustling coastal town. They seemingly crawled out of the woodwork like termites. They came quietly at first, and everyone accepted them just as any other visitors, but it was soon apparent that they had no business being here other than to spread hate. An actual Nazi of German-Mexican heritage, Reynaldo von Bismarck, came to Santa María alongside German actress Hilda Krüger, but stayed long after. He was often seen harassing beachgoers or shouting anti-Semitic statements from a bar stool with a pint in his hand. He made a point of showing up to every municipal meeting spouting Nazi propaganda. Each time he was escorted out, shrieking and brawling.

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.
