Within months of getting married, Priscilla became pregnant. Already well older than most of the young mothers and fathers in Santa María, where it wasn’t uncommon for teenagers to have children, this baby could not have arrived any sooner. Horacio was a big baby, 3.7 kilos, and welcomed into the world with open arms by his parents. Whether through pure luck or the pure wizardry of the universe, they were fortunate to have been bestowed with an abundance of love and they wanted to share it with him. From a young age, Horacio traveled, visiting family and friends in San Luis Potosí and Guadalajara. He was taught how to become enamored with the world around him. To love the flowers and insects in his mother’s garden. The perfection of the tablecloths of the hotel’s dining room. The sound of the waves crashing into the rocks.
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.
