“What brilliant God made you, you strange and beautiful being. I’ve traveled the seven seas, seen the spires of Notre Dame and strolled the Spanish Stairs, but never have I seen anything quite so enchanting. You remind me of someone from long ago. Is it my mother’s piercing gaze? Quiet, but unafraid. With it, you can see deep down to the depths of my soul. Beyond the suits and shiny shoes. Beyond the gossip and charisma, but the real me. Frightened and lonely. Vulnerable. Wanting nothing more than to be loved. I won’t disappoint you my dear. I’ll be there with you, by your side, until your dying days.”

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.
