Colossal storage tanks were scattered across town to hold all of the oil that was being extracted as it awaited shipment. Authoritative edifices that no one could go near unless they had a PEMEX badge, lingering in the background like shadowy hills. They were symbols of the riches being discovered in this enchanted land, but where was it all going? Once it is loaded up and sent away, how much of that wealth will come back to Santa María? Who gets that money? Will any of it get reinvested here? Or at the very least used to clean up some the mess they made? Despite what the brochures want you to believe, it’s not all sunshine and mermaids in this part of the gulf.
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.
