The life and work of Goran Babić represent a fantastic intertwining of biography, art, history and politics. He grew up in different parts of Yugoslavia.
He completed his studies in economics in Zagreb, where he worked as a writer and politician until the beginning of the Yugoslav war drama, when he settled permanently in Belgrade.
He has published almost a hundred books of poetry, prose, dramatic texts, literary criticism, as well as engaged and polemical texts, and his poetry has been included in many domestic and foreign anthologies.

The exhibition “Occasional Stopping of Time” represents a possible insight into the complex creative opus of Goran Babić and the inseparable socio-political and cultural ambience of post-war Yugoslavia, whose development, existence and dramatic and tragic end will deeply mark the author’s life.
