The first automobiles began to reach Santa María through narrow cattle and horse trails that winded their way through the forest, but the journey was long and perilous. The dirt paths were uneven and full of stones. Rains would turn small streams into raging rivers. Passengers were expected to get out of the car to dig and push at least a few times during the journey. There was dust and mud and it was a physically trying crossing. Yet, at only an 8-hour drive to Aldama if all went well, it was still much faster than the ferry for northbound passengers. They were willing to pay for the privilege, so the cars plodded along. The more that traveled, the clearer the path became.

Santa Maria de las Rocas collection image

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.
