    Philip Ullman is a Swedish artist and filmmaker based in Amsterdam. By capturing performers' movements and voices inherent to the human body, and applying these to non-human characters, scattered throughout fictional 3D animated realities, Ullman questions the grounds on which value and sentience are prescribed, why one life is more valuable than another, and what it means to be human.
