While prostitution had been around in some form since the first hotels opened in Santa María, it used to be rather discreet. Now it was far more blatant and out in the open than it had ever been. Women of the night now operated in the daylight. They could be found lined up in bars and even jeering at passersby on the plaza. Any inebriated man, and there were plenty to choose from, were their targets. There were sloppy kisses on bar stools. Nipple slips at the roulette wheel. Early one Sunday morning, some pilgrims in town to pray to the Virgin, took a stroll on the beach and found a dead woman washed up in the sand, her face bashed in and bloodied. After the first time, it kept happening, as if it were an epidemic.
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.
