Twin brothers Mario and Luis Mezta Balarezo, who hung around the Escuela de Pintura al Aire Libre, an old hacienda turned artist enclave in Coyoacán, decided to start a comedy troupe with a few friends from Toluca. They started working the beaches along the Gulf, hitching rides on boats from town to town. When they reached Santa María, it felt like Coyoacán ten years before. So vibrant and full of energy. There was a sense that this community was about to take off. It was going to grow and change and become like nowhere else they’ve ever been. If they stayed now, they weren’t going to just be a part of it but could help shape it.

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.
