What You Mean We?

Alive from Off Center Season 2 Episode 10

Overview:
his program features two video works by performance artist Laurie Anderson. The first, "Late Show" (an excerpt from her film "Home of the Brave"), is a music video of one of her songs. The second, "What You Mean We?," is a fantasy in which Anderson creates a clone of herself so that she cope with her busy schedule. As she is interviewed by a talk show host (played by Spalding Gray, off-screen), she introduces the clone (who is male), explains the reasons for his existence, and describes her relationship with him. The clone later composes a song in Anderson's place while she relaxes, and he begins work on his own project -- a film script. Scenes from the "film" are shown; Anderson gives the clone her opinion of it, and suggests that he work instead on a film about "two guys on the road." Scenes from the new "film" are shown. Later, the clone appears on the same talk show that Anderson had appeared on earlier and introduces his own clone -- played by Anderson.
