No more oil No more trees Beaches with fences Sand with fleas Got no money Got no dreams Santa María help me please
We’re poor and we’re hungry This place isn’t what it used to be The fish are all gone The walls are all crumbling The tortillas are stale The tequila has run dry Nowhere to go Just sit here and cry
Will put all your money on red No, make it black It doesn’t really matter though You won’t get it back Don’t matter how hard you try You do it enough times You make enough sin The house already knows That they always win
Don’t got no future Don’t got no hope Nowhere to run Nothing but dope There’s plenty of sun But no time for fun Santa María’s the place For your fall from grace
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.
