Michelangelo Pistoletto has disembarked at the Museo Benito Quinquela Martín with his epic Terzo Paradiso. This intervention underscores contemporary man’s urgent need to invent another dimension of existence, between nature and technology. Third Paradise is a symbol created by Pistoletto inspired in the mathematical symbol of infinity. In this figure 8 turned on its side, Pistoletto has drawn a third circle which simultaneously conjugates the nature of being human and the artificial paradise represented by technology. This central circle symbolizes the need to find a solution to humanity’s state of crisis and conflict. As one outcome, the La Boca district will act as a collection center for hundreds of plastic bottles which the children from the local community will use to build a massive structure in the shape of the infinity sign. This will be used as a barrier to catch surface rubbish on the waters of the Riachuelo river.
