The tentacles of the Great Earthquake of Orizaba traveled across the landscape and up the coast, before reaching Santa María in the dark of dawn amidst heavy rain. People awoke to a particularly loud noise. A big bang. Some were thrown out of bed and thought that their house had been struck by lightning. Or that the noise was thunder from the storm. But the noise didn’t stop. It rumbled, cracked and roared. Buildings shook and swayed. Ceilings cracked open and bricks sprung out like grasshoppers. Roads transformed into roller coasters, then crumbled into pieces. Trees were pushed out from their roots and their trunks crashed onto cars. The entire town was engulfed in gray. The cathedral’s bell tower loosened and started to lean. It stayed that way for hours, hanging in the balance, finally shifting further until falling over, it’s bell ringing one last time before crashing into the debris.

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.
