It was only weeks later that a landslide occurred beneath the ocean. Fifteen miles east of Santa María, down at the bottom of the sea, rock and sediment that was loosened by the earthquake finally gave way and fell into a trench, displacing what was beneath it and causing a 20-meter wall of water to head towards Tamaulipas. Much of the coast was spared any damage, except in Santa María, where the mangrove forests that once grew along much of the coast were removed to make room for more beaches, as well the sand dunes that were flattened for beach clubs. They had protected the interior from flooding well before a settlement was created here. With them gone, it was an open invitation for the Atlantic to wash away any last hope of rebuilding.

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.
