As Hong Kong becomes a hub of dialogue between Italy and China through the FASHION TO RECONNECT exhibition, the city is welcoming six new and diverse interpretations of the Third Paradise. These six interventions, through different media (craft, music, video art, scenography, ballet), reinterpret the symbol conceived by Michelangelo Pistoletto to restore new forms of balance between humanity, nature, and technology.

Unlike the introductory article already published in the Journal, which focuses on the general framework of the exhibition and its developments, this overview focuses exclusively on the installations recently inaugurated in various neighborhoods of the metropolis. A mosaic of visions that enriches the dialogue between cultures and invites the Hong Kong public to engage with the symbol's contemporary meaning.

1. Third Paradise x Sophia Loren Hong Kong

Wanchai — November 17 / December 14

Overlooking the famous Pawn Building, macramé artist Khalif Yu transforms the balcony of the Sophia Loren House into a monumental weave of sustainable fibers. The work, constructed using the Chinese Crown Knot, uses iridescent laser materials that change color throughout the day and night, creating a luminous organism in constant motion.

Fusing traditional artisanal techniques with contemporary aesthetic sensibilities, Yu embroiders a suspended, vibrant Third Paradise that engages with the traffic of Johnston Road and invites reflection on the need for a delicate balance between urbanity and natural materials.

2. Third Paradise x City University of Hong Kong — Flash Mob

U-Circle — November 18

One hundred and forty people, fifteen musicians, a drone, and a single collective geometry: that of the Third Paradise. On the CityU campus, the installation becomes an urban performance thanks to a large-scale flash mob orchestrated by students and professionals.

On October 18, during the performance, the musicians gradually entered the area to the rhythm of Coldplay's Viva la Vida, forming the three circles of the symbol. Volunteers joined immediately afterward, filling the shape with a choral gesture that culminated in the final salute to the camera from above.

3. Terzo Paradiso x CityUHK Tunnel — Digital Art

CityU Tunnel (connecting with Festival Walk) — November 18 / December 1

Artist and illustrator Zoie Lam has transformed the 50-meter tunnel connecting the CityU campus to the Festival Walk shopping center into a sequence of immersive panoramic videos.

Inspired by the Sham Shui Po neighborhood, a vibrant hub of craftsmanship and innovation in Hong Kong, Zoie Lam blends iconic elements of the city with views of Biella, weaving them into a digital narrative that uses the Terzo Paradiso as a recurring visual structure. Through fluorescent colors, imaginary characters, and landscapes that oscillate between natural and urban, the video installation takes passersby on a journey that reflects on the continuous evolution of communities and the value of sustainability in metropolitan contexts.

4. Third Paradise x Hong Kong International Airport

Terminal 1, Arrivals Hall — November 19 / December 16

In the heart of the airport's arrivals area, a huge transparent screen is currently illuminating the entrance to the Chinese city with a digital reinterpretation of the Third Paradise, created in collaboration with fashion designer Vivienne Tam.

The protagonist of the video is the famous Opera Girl, an icon of Tam's visual language. Through streams of neon lights that "swim" within the Third Paradise symbol, the figure traverses a dynamic landscape that reflects on the themes of rebirth, balance, and environmental responsibility. The artwork, visible from afar thanks to its 7,000-nit brightness, welcomes travelers with a message that combines high-tech aesthetics and sustainable sensibilities.

5. Terzo Paradiso x Hung Hom Harbourfront Promenade

Hung Hom Promenade — From November 20

On the waterfront overlooking Victoria Bay, designer Dorian Ho has created an installation that blends the vitality of the National Games with an energetic, pop interpretation of the Third Paradise.

The work integrates athletic silhouettes, dynamic poses, and vibrant color schemes, in which the three circles become a compositional grid and a symbol of a perpetual rhythm between movement, environment, and growth. This intervention invites those walking along the waterfront to perceive the urban landscape as a shared arena of strength, balance, and rebirth.

6. Terzo Paradiso x Hong Kong Cultural Centre — “Eternal Relevé”

Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Main Foyer — November 27 / December 14

Another notable contribution comes from the Hong Kong Ballet, which brings Terzo Paradiso to the Cultural Centre's foyer with a scenographic installation constructed entirely from materials from Nutcracker, a historic production currently running.

The exhibition leads the visitor through sets, costumes, and archival materials to the heart of the work: an infinite figure made from recycled ballet pointe, supported by a metal structure that makes it emerge as a symbol of a continuous cycle between art, memory, and regeneration.

The project, developed with artistic director Septime Webre, establishes a dialogue between theater, sustainability, and dance tradition, transforming props into living, renewed matter. Eternal Relevé thus becomes a powerful reflection on the value of art as a driver of awareness and as a place where the balance between humanity and the environment can be reimagined.

An Atlas of Possibilities for the Third Paradise

The six installations scattered around the city demonstrate how the Third Paradise, twenty years after its inception, continues to generate connections and ever-new narratives. In a Hong Kong that questions the relationship between local identity and global vision, the FASHION TO RECONNECT exhibition confirms itself as a laboratory where art, fashion, technology, and community converge to imagine ever-changing forms of balance.

A balance that is never given once and for all, but which, just like the symbol that represents it, continues to transform along with the cities and the people who pass through it.
