“All right. All right. Let’s calm down in here,” said the executives on the other side of the room. “We’ve done well thus far, but the orders are getting bigger and bigger. If you thought the work was demanding, it’s about to get more difficult. We need to expand, to add a bigger crew. We need more experience to compete and need to cut our costs or we’ll all be out of a job. All pay increases are frozen, for the months ahead. Don’t get too comfortable. No one’s role is safe at this mill. There are uniforms to sew and aprons to embroider. Don’t rest. Don’t stop. Don’t catch your breath. If you can’t keep up, we’ll get someone new. And if you can’t deal with that than there’s the door.”

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.
