Horacio had endless opportunities for appearances. Most of the time it was easy. Not so much the craft of magic, but just showing up and doing a few cards tricks. Finding a peso in someone’s sock. Pulling an iguana out of a hat. He was the talk of the town. The little boy from the movie, now all grown up, doing more daring, more unbelievable stunts and building a portfolio. He was invited to every party. While Santa María was brimming with celebrities, he was homegrown. He danced with and bedded the prettiest girls. Most of them were just there for the week and he’d never see them again.

“Sure, I’ll come visit you,” he’d tell them, before moving on to next week’s girl.

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.
