The unusual protagonists of the work were the reindeer from a historic local farm: "The installation – said Rebirth ambassadresses Eija Tarkiainen and Anne Murto – is intended to evoke the forces of nature so that they, together with man, may resume travelling along that third path that can take us back to the paradise of the origins, to the Third Paradise prophesied by Michelangelo Pistoletto".

The Third Paradise on the border between Turkey and Syria, when a symbol pacifies opposites Nicolò Marchetti, full professor in the Department of History and Cultures of the University of Bologna, has curated an installation of the Third Paradise in Karkemish, on the western bank of the river Euphrates. The 30-metre long work, whose construction was requested by Fatma Şahin (metropolitan mayor of Gaziantep), was designed by the archaeologist with the collaboration of Michelangelo Pistoletto. “Karkemish is an extraordinary place – said the artist from Biella – and the right one to host the Third Paradise, a symbol that pacifies opposites, heals differences, promotes new models of participation in life by resolving conflicts, activating responsible practices that pacify us and give us the right to belong to our planet guaranteeing equal dignity to all the species that inhabit it”.
