Square Dancing 13
In this image couples stand in a line facing each other, and slap hands patty-cake style.
Ruohomaa focusses on how the participants' interactions reflect the process of learning and the sometimes awkward and unfamiliar proximity of neighbors and strangers. In this improvised dance hall Kosti finds his preferred subject matter: the folkways of ordinary people at work and as here, at play.
