Talent Bio

Philip Ullman is a Swedish artist and filmmaker living and working in Amsterdam. By capturing human movements and voices and applying these to non-human characters, 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.
