Originally conceived as an art installation in 2003, *The Third Paradise* has been created in various forms worldwide, including a monumental version in Paris. Pistoletto's central idea is symbolized through an infinity sign made up of three interlocking circles, with the middle circle representing a new form of paradise that reconciles natural and artificial worlds. This symbol not only captures the dualities of nature and progress but also envisions a new symbiosis where human creations support and protect the earth. In the Paris version, *The Third Paradise* takes shape in a public setting, encouraging interaction and reflection on the part of the viewer. The installation often includes elements like earth, plants, recycled materials, or even reflective surfaces, tying into Pistoletto’s theme of regeneration and sustainability. The natural elements juxtapose with the urban setting of Paris, creating a dialogue between the past, present, and a possible future. Pistoletto’s concept is more than a physical artwork; it’s a social and environmental message, calling for active participation in transforming society and consciousness through creative action. The symbolic “rebirth” offered by *The Third Paradise* envisions a collective awakening, an invitation for individuals to become “artivists” (artist-activists) who bridge the gap between our consumption-driven world and a sustainable future. As one of Pistoletto’s most influential works, it has inspired various events, workshops, and educational programs worldwide, strengthening its role as both a call to action and a space for contemplation. In Paris, as in other cities, *The Third Paradise* has become not only a landmark installation but a communal emblem, uniting people in the vision of a regenerative world.
