Then more equipment appeared. And more equipment. Machinery flooded into town, littering the beaches and plaza. The robot invasion was upon them. There were crates of shovels to dig ditches. Enough pipes to reach Guatemala. Boxes of hard hats. Drill bits. Spools of cables. Tanks of gasoline. Barges loaded with steam and gas-powered drilling rigs. There were pumps and cranks and tanks. Whirligigs and whimmy diddles. They were big, heavy and dirty. They choked out black clouds from within their bowels and left deep tracks through the fields. They didn’t stop for anyone and just went about their business. Why did they need so many machines? What was it all for?

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.
