OFFICE OVERLOAD ARTWORK(S):
WHAT DYING FEELS LIKE (2021)
Philip Ullman
A mouse finds herself reciting childhood memories in a sterile living room. Shards of an alienating past paint the portrait of a human life. A sense of loss pervades the atmosphere as she's torn between being human and being mouse, between being alive and being in a simulation.

ABOUT THE ARTIST(S):
Philip Ullman (b. 1992) is a Swedish artist and filmmaker, who by capturing performers' movements and voices inherent to the human body, and applying these to non-human characters, scattered throughout fictional 3D animated realities, 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.
