Elegant ballrooms and meeting facilities were necessary amenities on many of the hotels. Advertisements were purchased in newspapers and magazines throughout northern Mexico by the Santa María hotel association, mentioning package deals for major life events like weddings, anniversaries and birthdays that included use of the hotel’s full range of amenities. Soon after, there were conventions of commercial tortilla manufacturers and retreats for the Society of Mexican Ophthalmologists, among other groups. At first there would be waves of groups. They would come, and they would go. Then the waves stopped cresting and town was always full of people, no matter the day or the season, testing the limits of just how much the infrastructure could take.

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.
