Podocatharus is a de-communicative art-name of a conceptual sculptor born in Roma in 1960.The artistic research of Podocatharus aimed at dialogue with other disciplines to obtain maximum communicability between them. and the very final object of his artistic work is the research that will take the form of a translator from the artistic to the philosophical language.The main themes developed in Podocatharus works are:Reflection on nature / culture, Representation of concepts and research on the use of basic materials.The methodology proposal by sculptor is a path of avant-coupe*exhibition*apres coupe.

Exhibitions and rationale; Description: TMI stands for “Too Much Information” a meditation on the massive usage of information that could confuse people.Holzwege : coming from Heidegger (holz = wood ; wege = path could be translated in “broken path”)  is the methodology of reasoning and progress in the human mental activities, like in a labyrinth inspired by “palazzo ducale” in Mantova The research of Podocatharus is concentrated on the only ancient value : the truth.According to the author, since it is impossible to trace the truth, the research must be concentrated on the methodology of the research in whose process the truth itself should be nested. podocatharus underline 2 directions:the art can cross the field of “not yet feeling” or can go in the “not yet thinking” field: the last route in Podocatharus leads to penetrate in that field and remain between the present concepts in order to generate a new one. in the sculptor's thought it is equally important to prepare people in receiving and formed new concepts and this is the final goal of art –and philosophy- : starting new concepts (constructionist mode)The art has to assemble concept in a pre-existing form that contains itself the main characteristics  of  break-up essential field for new way of reasoning in Exhibition Works are “deconstruct” in order to shown unexpected reality with a little variation in observer’s point of view : de-composition and re-composition are moment of mentality activity helping us to find new way of idea’s construction.obviously.Obviously the author stresses the risk is to get lost in this labyrinth like in the Holzwege path of Heidegger Currently the reflection is on the landscape /culture and how to enter the doxa in order to gradually reach other interpretations

The natural units in the exhibition are all the same: in fact the characteristic of the objective is to consist rather than exist. The concepts are born with equal dignity but by deforming the various planes of immanence (of the isomorphic representation, of matter and of culture) they attract, disappear, enlarge: they represent the same cross-section of the two initial walls where the diagram of thought is legible; their transparency can be seen as a lens through which to cancel false perspectives, decode the fusion with the various backgrounds to bring out the modulation of the planes of immanence. Everything is brought back to an external point of fall: a fusion with the thinking of others human beings.
 * More on UN unità naturali and TRIPODI Tripodi are essential in Podocatharus poetics: it can be reasonably said that they are also a representation of the human being, always represented by the author as a mixture of memory and probability.young people have more chances and less memory while the old vice versa:similarly the author, depicting man with the tripod no longer as a purely physical entity but as a text,with the notes at the bottom supporting the text which for podocatharus is ultimatelyWhat you are telling, while notes mean experience.in turn the notes / experience that make up the support for the text can be of two types: GLossa type and translation type.the first requires a profound cultural elaboration while the second relies more on communication. in the UN the upper part of the tripod is therefore dedicated by the sculptor to the representation of an isomorphic concept, the lower part is designed to contain the matter (red/black concrete) and the stop that stabilizes the tripod is the culture.
