This new era of the automobile brought a much greater flow of traffic to Santa María. To support these machines, gas stations had to be built. And garages opened to fix tires and gaskets. And car dealerships opened. Then used car dealerships. Crews were needed to repair the roads. More inns needed to be constructed to host the influx of visitors. Staff had to be brought in to clean the rooms and work the desks and quarters needed to be built to host them. Some of the intimacy of being reliant on Santa María time dissipated. There was less indecision on coming and going. Little was left to chance.

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.
