The bodies of these public figures are prostheses for our own mutant desirability.For stars are products of our own light projected above us, and often we come to feel that they influence us etymologically: flow into us too much. As Warhol must have sensed, this star-production can pass beyond the sadomasochistic to the paranoid: the relation to the star becomes a problem of distance (the star is too far from us, or too close) that is a problem of control the star has too little, or too much, over us?
