While it took several years longer than expected, and the construction was rife with fraud and mismanagement, the highway from Santa María on the coast to Ciudad Victoria in the interior, shaved the travel time to just a few hours. In the process, the landscape in this corner of Tamaulipas was completely, and utterly transformed. This road was not just a place for a cars and buses to travel, but an invitation for development along its entirety. The harsh topography that once defined it was getting paved over with concrete. Clusters of houses and restaurants and shops emerged. They popped up one by one at first, but eventually formed a long chain of human habitation, dividing the state in two.
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.
