Television provided a much-needed distraction from everything going on in Santa María. There were more channels than ever before. It gave everyone something to do. It gave everyone something to talk about with one another. It was a life they all could share together, while separate. Stop worrying about the things you have no power to control. Tuning in provides all the serotonin you need. No need to go to a show, you can get those belly laughs right from your couch again and again. No need to read the newspaper and figure what’s going on in the capital, someone will explain it to you while you eat your dinner. Children didn’t even need babysitters anymore. The cartoons would run for hours and hours. Just sit them in front of it and they won’t move. It’s good for them. It teaches them things.

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.
