Word got out about how affordable the once unaffordable resort town of Santa María had become and tourists arrived by the bus load from all over northern and Central Mexico and the southern U.S. They weren’t always as glamorous as travelers had been in the past, but they were enthusiastic. They were younger. They drank more heavily. They stayed up later. They spent a lot of time at the beach. Too much time. Drinking and sunbathing. They got sunburnt. Really sunburnt. Red necks. Red shoulders. Red backs. Red calves. They could be seen camping around town, sometimes passed out on benches or just right in the sand. Piss stained pants. They were messy. They resembled dying starfish. The smell of trash and vomit permeated the air for so long that many forgot what it was supposed to smell like.
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.
