This is one of the last photos taken of Priscilla and Raymundo. There they are, standing beside their thriving fields of agave, so delighted with the way their lives had so unexpectedly turned out. They had just got electricity hooked up and a well-constructed at the rancho. It was beginning to feel like a homestead, and not just an empty field devoid of life. The bleating and neighing of the livestock filled the air. Their manure was used to fertilize the crops. Things were growing and blossoming. Bees and butterflies had appeared, followed by the singing quails and red spotted toads. There was life there, different species all dependent on one another, and shepherded along by the sheer force of the boundless love of one couple.
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.
