It seemed like there was an invasion of clowns. They were everywhere. On the beach. Waiting outside the cathedral. Piling out of cars by the dozen. Riding on top of tiny cars. Paddling fishing boats. Honking their big red noses. Opening cans of snakes. Squirting children in the eyes with flowers. Walking invisible dogs. Mostly untrained and walking around in homemade, raggedy costumes that often smelled. They were cheap laughs. Just kinda there. Stubble on their faces. Not even smiling. Sometimes a smirk. Everyone assumed they were there for a week for some kind of event, but they dawdled around town for months. Years later, a casino executive admitted that they were hired for next to nothing to bring down the rates of other performers who started to lose their audiences.
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.
