Other things were pure fantasy. There were some old stone ruins overgrown with vines and cacti about 3 kilometers from town. They were likely all that was left of a long-abandoned rancho from the late eighteenth century. Nothing important, but with a little imagination they became an eleventh century Toltec temple. Stones were piled on top to create a central staircase and exterior walls featured stucco allegedly painted with blood (though it was actually just cochineal). Fake Mayan statues were passed off as authentic Huasteca ones and placed on the top of the structure. After a few months, owners set up daily preparation of cochinita pibil to the side of the temple, so package tours with lunch and transportation raised the net profits by 220 percent.
“If you give them enough tequila, they’ll believe anything,” one of the guides was quoted as saying.
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.
