With so much oil being pumped out of Santa María’s darkest depths on a daily basis, it needed a way to get to the refineries in the south quickly. PEMEX built a rail line over the Sierra Madre, cutting through a rare patch of cloud forest at its highest part. A rich biome full of wonderous creatures like black bears and tayra whose habitat had yet to be studied. A group of biologists at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo Leon were up in arms with the act, but there were so few people familiar with the landscape that it didn’t go anywhere. Within a year, coal powered trains followed by a chain of tank cars were humming back and forth to Ciudad Madero, leaving a trail of smoke rings that floated up to the heavens.
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.
