Little of Santa María remained. There was no town. No people. Just a box that had washed up on the beach, and a magician, who woke up in a fishing boat in the sand, as if in a dream. As he rolled out of the boat, he noticed the box and opened it. There were photos, hundreds of them. Lost memories, once relevant to someone, but tossed in a bin and forgotten. As he flipped through them, he saw familiar faces. Friends. Loved ones. He saw his mother. She was fishing. The time they went to Los Cabos maybe. His father always told the story about how the fish wouldn’t stay off her line, yet he never got so much as a bite. She was seasick from the waves and should have been miserable, but she always said it was one of the happiest days of her life.
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.
