Ground
by Martin Langford
Ground is a meditation on the evolution and nature of Australian spaces. The collection is governed by the tensions which characterise Langford’s work: between the way our spaces are projections of enlargement narratives, and our need to challenge that by acknowledging the others with whom we interact. Enlargement narratives place the self at the centre of the world, and share an obsession with a point of arrival which is only meaningful in terms of the story from which it has arisen. Against them, Langford proposes the idea of dance: by which he means any relationship with an other in which neither is privileged—which is based on attention and respect, rather than on the relegation of the other in the face of one’ needs.
