Description
Ostensibly about the interrogation of a hardly noticeable prop detail in Blade Runner, this film is really a study of holding, ownership and the pose.

In Vicki and Alex, Like the Clouds – Final Edit (2015), machine-generated characters, discuss a Blade Runner prop. The film imitates the Esper machine in Blade Runner, working to reveal a hidden landscape behind an image. Using found photographs of couples, Vicki and Alex, Like the Clouds implies that the passive lens has captured something fundamental about the power play of the female/male relationship that, when looked at in retrospect, is revelatory. Perhaps more plausibly, the film suggests that the camera has recorded a system of signs, which may be universal – a performance of heterosexuality.
