People from every walk of life had all found their way to Santa María for different reasons, but now they were together. Many wanted to do their own thing and be left alone, while others hoped to work together to build a new community. On the plaza, they stood on rocks or crates and shouted out their ideas. Sometimes crowds formed, and people cheered and jeered. Other times no one listened. There was silence. Still, collectively, they were figuring out how to move forward. To establish new viewpoints and connect with others from different walks of life. To connect with people that they would have never met if their circumstances didn’t suddenly align.

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.
