The Spectral Borders of Andy Warhol

The Spectral Borders of Andy Warhol 

Dr. Mohammed Sameer Abd Elsalam

I will talk about Andy Warhol's unique, postmodern design of shoes which was made in 1980.
In this masterpiece, Andy Warhol deconstructed the virtual signification of the artwork signs.
Warhol made three postmodern movements in the semiotic relations between the shoes; he revealed the musical harmony principle between the shoes and their hyper colors. At the same time, he made another reverse movement, when he created a new sense in the inner world of his viewer, that we feel that each one of these shoes has its own and isolated world; therefore, we can see a hidden, aesthetic and soft conflict between the shoes, and we can recognize its feminine dream signs which interacted with the poetic world of unconsciousness.
Warhol,also, made a poetic, postmodern irony, when he put the signs of shoes in an open field, and they remind me of the fantastic space images and the cognitive imaginations of the planets, because of Andy Warhol's postmodern spectral borders; that we can imagine some other metaphoric shoes beyond the fantastic area of the borders.
