Over one thousand figures stand silently in a field near the road with faceless heads all facing the same direction. The figures are made up of peat heads covered in straw hair and simple wooden bodies draped with colourful clothing that is changed twice a year. The Finnish artist, dancer and choreographer Reijo Kela has created this lasting impressive work.
