From collection Kosti Ruohomaa Collection
Square Dancing 23
Ruohomaa's image looks down on a square dance couple performing an allemande right as they approach another couple in a room that has been decorated with pictures and Japanese paper lanterns. Other dancers watch from the sidelines.
Ruohomaa focusses on how the participants' interplay reflects the process of learning.
In this improvised dance hall Kosti finds his preferred subject matter: the folkways of ordinary people at work and as here, at play.
