The only truly alien planet is earth: J. G. Ballard, dalla fantascienza al mainstream tra romanticismo e surrealismo

As an author J. G. Ballard used to deal with different genres and topics, producing several short stories and a number of novels. Yet he has always been true to himself. He started as a science fiction writer, which in a sense he was until the end. With some occasional romantic references, over the years Ballard’s fiction ranged from a personal surrealistic mood to novelized autobiography. He also had a keen interest in psychopathology and society, while being somehow haunted by his experience as a civilian prisoner of war in his early teenage years. This study shows how, like a chameleon, he often appeared under different guises, but always stayed undisputedly ‘Ballardian’

The oeuvre of Julije Knifer was marked by meander paintings, an old Greek ornament, that was first recognised in Compositions in late 190s and continously represented in different mediums: painting, sculpture, relief, collages, wall painintgs, journals from 1959 onwards.Meander is not an ornament in Knifer`s oeuvre but a whole system, as one mender is just a part of the whole meander oeuvre.Meander is a form through which Knifer ultimately marks the facts, borderline situations, a form on which he tries to inscribe his consciousness trying to trespass the material character of art itself
