The men in suits didn’t care about anything other than money. They had no attachments here. They never knew what it once was. They didn’t care what it could be either. They weren’t even going to visit more than a day or two. They bought this distressed utopia for pocket change. They were extractivists. Paper-handed miners, carving out the landscape and its people for any pieces of silver or gold they could chip away at. Vultures feeding away at the leftover scraps. How much more could they squeeze out? Highrise towers. Cruise ships. They opened it up. They opened it all up. No stone would be left unturned. McDonald’s and Suburbia. Ferris wheels and alligator farms. Roller coasters and booze cruises. Everyone could come. Santa María was open for business.
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.
