Horsens Square is the town's old room. The square is recognized in 'old times' as the town's place and also today as the town's active room. Our Saviour's Church is the space's house, beautiful and powerful and carrying history, the large roof green roof gives the place its identity.
The basins are a thin surface of water that lie over the highroad stones giving the room openness and a reflected light that mirrors the drifting clouds and the night's darkness.
There is movement of the water at the bottom of the basin; during the day beautiful rays spray in all directions in the clear backlight, in the evening the
straws are coloured by a coloured light like festive fireworks with no sound.
Now and then the basin is only its quiet surface of water catching the fallen leaves from the planes on its mirror. In winter the basin is seen only as a weak depression in the space's granite-covering.
The square is illuminated at night with new lamps that illuminate the space's floor and emphasize the beautiful coverings and height of the church. A weak blue light sends light as if it is moonlight, falling down on the place our exact shadow is seen in the blue light and the church's roof is sensed against the night's heavens.
