Sobre IBD

A factory is demolished. A dead body is discovered in the ruins. The mummified corpse is encased in a carapace of compacted phosphate rock and surrounded by ten objects that provide tantalising clues as to its identity.Phosphate Rocks: A Death in 10 Objects unravels the mystery using a mix of real life anecdote, scientific explanation and a touch of fiction.Inspired by Primo Levi, in the style of Dan Brown, this is the portrait of a factory in all its complex, glorious, interconnected, messy entirety. A hymn to the forgotten, the unknown and the misunderstood, this is the story of an industry in decline and some of the fine people taken down with it.
