While pleased that hotels in town were routinely sold out, even as they commanded high prices, the local association business owners were disappointed. If there were no rooms left and there were still people that wanted to stay, that meant they were missing opportunities. When they gathered, they drank beer and talked, talked and drank beer. There needed to be even more rooms. And more rooms. And still more rooms. Let’s annex some land for the hotels. Get rid of some houses. Let’s build up too. The sky is the limit. Fifteen floors high. Don’t fear the earthquakes. We’ll build them strong. Let’s open campgrounds too. And how about a marina? The largest south of the border. There will be room for hundreds of yachts. The most luxurious boats in the gulf will make Santa María their port of choice.

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.
