From their mountainous perch, when they reached a clearing on a cloudless day, they could see all the way to the ocean. Their route, once jagged and disorganized, became recognizable. As they moved east, down the sloping hills to lower elevations, the forests transitioned into arid scrubland, full of woody shrubs and succulents. When they reached the shore, Armando started seeking out a secluded piece of land to clear and build a life. Somewhere where they had everything they could possibly need. Eventually, they encountered an abandoned fishing camp, then continued south along the rocky shore for several kilometers. Frustrated by the lack of fertile land, he started to look for a sign. Just then, he slipped on an overly ripe chicozapote that had fallen from a tree.
“This is the place,” he whispered.
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.
