They were young and in love. Deeply, madly, rapturously in love. A forest of love. Oceans of love. Time no longer existed. There was only time together and when they weren’t together knowledge of the existence of the other consumed their thoughts as if they were still there. The world kept spinning, but they took no notice. That’s the kind of love they had. A love they never expected could be possible but made their lives complete. Within a year, they were married. There was never a doubt. Soon after, they bought a plot of land on the waterfront and built a small home.
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.
