Esmeralda Pérez was a sweet, shy elementary school teacher from Montemorelos near Monterrey. She lived a quiet life and liked to read and take long walks. She came to Santa María for her rich cousin Abelino’s wedding and everyone kept telling her to let loose, so she did. She drank Carta Blanca and mingled with her cousin’s swanky friends, though she felt like she didn’t fit in. From across the room, she locked eyes with a tall man with a moustache. They said he was a magician, but she had never heard of him. He instantly put her at ease. She was a small-town girl. A little bit naïve of this world. Jovial and handsome, everyone liked him, and she instantly fell in love. He was everything she wasn’t, as she was for him. They were a perfect complement to each other. When she returned to Santa María three weeks later, they got married.
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.
