As beachfront hotels became more and more exclusive, they sealed off their stretches of waterfront. Armed guards roamed the premises, walking out, sometimes rather assertively, anyone that didn’t belong. Or even just seemed like they didn’t belong. Locals were no longer welcome, even if their cousins or spouses or mothers worked at the hotel. The beaches were for paying guests, which supported the local economy, though mostly just lined the pockets of banks and businessmen in Mexico City, a world away. They were all private. No longer Santa María’s beaches. If local residents wanted to swim in the ocean, they were forced to go further and further away from town, to the wilder, more remote stretches, narrow sandbars full of driftwood and plastic, until even those were developed.
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.
