The ocean climbed onto land and took almost everything it could touch. The fragments of buildings and broken machines, most of them still in piles strewn about town, and many of the people that had refused to leave their remaining possessions, were crushed by the awesome force of the water. They were swept further into the interior, a raging river of mortality and trash, engulfing everything in its path. The wave lowered itself as it reached far beyond Santa María Nueva, and then sucked everything back out to the Gulf as the water rapidly receded as if from a straw. The statue of Santa María became warped and pieces started to flake off and disintegrated like sea foam blowing off the crest of a wave. The feathery velvet rope it once hid behind, slithered out to sea like a storybook serpent.
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.
