- The thrilling documentary "Forging Fate: The Disappearing Art Dealer" offers an in-depth exploration into the stranger-than-fiction life and crimes of Inigo Philbrick, a once-celebrated figure in the elite art world. Philbrick's story is a classic example of a meteoric rise followed by a spectacular fall, involving high-stakes fraud, international intrigue, and a dramatic escape to a tropical paradise. Born in 1987, Philbrick showed early promise in the art world. His passion and knowledge led him to study art at Goldsmiths University in London. Soon after, he started his career at the prestigious White Cube Gallery. His charm, coupled with an uncanny ability to navigate the art market, quickly propelled him to establish his galleries in London's Mayfair and Miami. Philbrick's business centered on dealing in the secondary art market, often involving high-value contemporary art from artists like Christopher Wool and Rudolf Stingel. However, Philbrick's success was built on a foundation of deceit. The documentary reveals how he engaged in unethical practices, such as selling over 100% ownership of artworks, creating fake invoices, and manipulating art auctions. His world was one of extravagance, funded by these fraudulent deals. He lived a life of luxury, travelling by private jet, hosting lavish parties on yachts, and enjoying the company of his reality star wife. Philbrick's downfall began when his elaborate schemes started to unravel. As lawsuits and criminal charges mounted, he fled to Vanuatu, a remote island in the South Pacific. The documentary captures this dramatic turn of events, depicting how Philbrick transitioned from a high-flying art dealer to a fugitive, eventually becoming a bizarre figure among the local island community and known as the "king of the dogs." Following Philbrick's escape, the art world was plunged into a frantic search to locate the artworks entangled in his fraudulent dealings. This desperate hunt highlighted the vast scale of his scams, as countless individuals grappled with the repercussions. The impact of Philbrick's deceit was devastating: people lost their homes, businesses, and even families, as they tried to salvage what they could from the ruins of his elaborate schemes. The documentary poignantly captures the human cost of Philbrick's fraud, painting a vivid picture of the ripple effects that extended far beyond the art world. The film provides a detailed look into the unregulated and opaque nature of the art world, where transactions often rely on trust and handshake deals. It highlights how Philbrick exploited this environment to perpetrate his fraud, ultimately causing significant damage to investors, artists, and the industry as a whole. The documentary includes interviews with those who were close to Philbrick, along with industry experts who provide insight into the mechanisms and impact of his actions. "Forging Fate: The Disappearing Art Dealer" is not just the story of one man's greed and betrayal; it's a cautionary tale that sheds light on the vulnerabilities of handshake deals and trust at face value. The documentary is a compelling narrative of ambition, deception, and the pursuit of wealth, set against the backdrop of one of the world's most glamorous and secretive industries.

More than 20 years later, Chernobyl has been taken over by a remarkable collection of wildlife and descendents of pets that were left in the city when its residents fled the nuclear fallout.
