“Just around the bend, I think. It can’t be too much more. This old horse’s legs won’t go much further. We’ve trekked across mountains, through mud and rain. Our skin is red from the sun and the mosquitoes have chewed us from limb to limb. I know you’re tired. We’ve come a long way but there’s no turning back. We have nothing left in Monterrey. We lost our homes, our families and friends. But we’ll get back on our feet some day and live the life we should. Wait! I think I can see the tile roofs through the trees. Do you hear the ring of the church bell? That’s Santa María calling.”
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.
