Daniel Flores was eccentric, they said. He was the heir of a railroad magnate some claimed. Others said he lived in Paris for a time. Rumors were that he preferred the company of men. When he purchased a rocky islet off of Playa Tortugas, most assumed he was mad, yet an architect in Mexico City was able to design a structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing domicile for him, as well as facilities for his collection of exotic pets. Flores could often be seen drinking wine on the balconies or bathing in the clear, shallow waters that separated the island from the mainland. He was mysterious, but there were only pleasant things to say about interactions with him.

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.
