(To date, this recording has never been released.) After several additional surreal sequences, the film ends with the Clone being interviewed (again by Gray) and talking about how the workload in his career is too much for one person and that he has also had to resort to cloning to share the burden. Once again there were complications and the Clone's clone is revealed to be a large, electronically distorted version of Laurie Anderson wearing clown-like make-up. As the Clone leaves the interview, leaving his clone to carry on, the film ends. A year after making this film, Anderson (and her Clone) returned to host the 1987 season of Alive from Off Center. Although this film has yet to be rereleased in its entirety to home video, segments such as "The Dream Before" and "Smoke Rings" were included on the compilation Laurie Anderson: Collected Videos. Anderson would later return to the experiment of creating an alter ego with her CD-ROM release Puppet Motel, which replaced the clone with a ventriloquist dummy. Anderson and Spalding Gray collaborated again in 1987 when she provided the soundtrack music to his performance film Swimming to Cambodia.
