As Santa María came down off its peak, the generation of youth in town was aimless. They grew up idolizing wealth and celebrity but had no real path for achieving those things. Maybe their parents did. Maybe they had opportunities for them to work their way up, to follow a trajectory or create one of their own. That was no longer the case. The money and power were all at the top. There was no more room to grow. Nothing left to build. No resources to exploit. For them, the only things that mattered were where they were born and to whom. They were predestined for failure and they knew it.
“You better learn to play fútbol or sing chamaco, cause that’s the only way you’re getting out of here.”
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.
