De tre søjler er Dalsgaards alternative version af en japansk torii-port. Torii-porte hører den oprindelige, japanske shinto-religion til. Her fungerer de som markeringer, der sætter skel ved overgangen til helligt område eller noget særligt bemærkelsesværdigt i landskabet. Dalsgaards ”torii-port” markerer her overgangen fra land til vand og indrammer smukt Gudenåens udmunding i Randers fjord.
BYPORT 91 er et kombineret byplan- og kunstprojekt for bymidten i Randers, som blev påbegyndt i 1991.
Ideen med projektet er at skabe en grænse mellem bymidten og de omkringliggende kvarterer ved hjælp af 13 'byporte', der opføres ved hver af byens 13 indfaldsveje.
Der er ikke tale om byporte i traditionel forstand, men derimod om markeringer i form af skulpturer.
‘De tre søjler’ (The three columns) is an alternative version of a Japanese torii-gate, by Sven Dalsgaard. Torii-gates are part of the original, Japanese Shinto-religion. Here they act as markings, signifying the transition from holy ground or noteworthy features in the landscape. In this case, Dalgaard’s ‘torii-gate’ marks the transition from land to water and beautifully frames the mouth of the Gudenå river in Randers Fjord.
BYPORT 91 is a combined urban planning and art project for the center in Randers, which began in 1991.
The idea of the project is to create a boundary between the city center and the surrounding neighborhoods using 13 'gates' located at each of the city's 13 entrance roads.
This isn't gates in the traditional sense, but rather markings in the form of sculptures.
