After the Summer Games, all of the newly expanded hotels couldn’t fill their rooms. The Dirty War left a stain on tourism across the country and no one was traveling. While Santa María remained safe, Americans and Canadians associated the violence elsewhere in Mexico that they saw on the news with it. Paired with a downturn in the Mexican economy, no one wanted to come. Entire wings of hotels, many of them still quite new, were closed off and unmaintained. There were so many empty rooms, the Tortugamar Resort practically begged the Northeastern Mexico Model Airplane Club to come. They were considering postponing their annual getaway, but the hotel offered them rates so low, which included meal tickets and a private event space, that they couldn’t resist.
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.
