Seeing an opportunity, the municipality, and later the entire town, started to take advantage of this quaint idea of Santa María that many were imagining. Old stones walls were purchased and dismantled from colonial villages in southern Mexico, transported by ship and reassembled in strategic locations throughout town. Two Zapotec women were hired to grind corn on metates made from river stones in front of a plaza facing restaurant to entice visitors inside. Artists were hired to paint the old wooden fishing boats in the harbor in bright colors. Small children started to dress up in the traditional garb that was featured in the movie and would adorably pester tourists to take photos of them, then demand money from them.
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.
