Everyone and everything was gone. Santa María had ceased to be. Maybe it never existed at all.
There were no farms or fishing boats. No church or plaza. No fútbol games or birthday parties. No hotels or casinos. There was nothing left but water and rocks.
Planetary palpitations. The thunderous roar of eternity. The earth’s breath. It’s piss. Everything. Nothingness.
Just a box of photos and a magician.
He looked out at the horizon. Far out where sky and sea meet. He squinted his eyes and could see the curve of the earth and tears rolled down his cheeks. He saw how small it was.
He looked down at the photos in the sand and paused. He stared at them. It could have been minutes. It could have been days, or even weeks or months or years. Then, finally, he spoke in a voice so loud and boisterous so that all who wanted to could hear him.
“What kind of story do we want to tell?”
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.
