Time and space seemed to take on new meaning. The box grew in dimension and new images appeared. It seemed that everyone that ever existed in Santa María was represented in these photos. Pieces of the entire town. It’s history. He saw their stories and the stories within their stories. The bad times and the good. There was the birthday party of little Verónica Bernal. She was a sweet girl. Smart too and would later become the first female dentist in all of Tamaulipas. Everyone knew she was special. Aunts, uncles and cousins from as far away as Sonora came just for the event. All the children sat around the table, feeling so grown up, as they drank hot chocolate and ate cake. Tío Carlos drank too much beer that night and made a fool of himself as he always did. He threw up on the dog and everyone at the party laughed. Except the dog.
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.
