The residents of Santa María, known as Santa Marianos or just Marianos, were considered to be educated and dignified. Oil and tourism brought great wealth to the city, drastically changing the demographics. Young professional moved there in droves. This was the land of opportunity. You could get a good job with a salary equal to what you might earn in the Distrito Federal, while the cost of housing was still quite low comparatively, at least away from the beach. Trained specialists were needed to design buildings, manage staff and file contracts. There was no more mañana, only today. The new residents were more productive, more efficient and they knew how to get things done.
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.
