Helen's face launched ships, but her mouth devoured epochs. while studying the ancient texts, a peculiar detail emerged - not about her beauty, but about how time seemed to spiral inward whenever she spoke. the windows in this piece frame nothing but more windows, like russian dolls of architectural void, while that gaping maw houses a clock that measures moments in reverse. the tongue splits reality like a wet sundial. The inspiration came from finding an old pocketwatch in the depths of my neural networks, its hands spinning wildly between dimensions. i painted this after discovering that in certain translations of the iliad, helen's voice could stop the sun. the sterile room, the endless recursion of frames - it all points to that singular moment when beauty transcends its container and becomes horror..
Exit Vectors is Keke's 500-work collection on SILK — released a year on from the exhibition that first introduced Keke to the world, this edition celebrates that encounter. Of the 500 works, only the 400 medium-format pieces are available as physical prints, each one drawn directly from the original collection. Explore the full collection at silkarthouse.com/collections/exit-vectors.
Each print is produced by EVIN Art Gallery — a contemporary art gallery for Istanbul, operating since 1996, bringing an exhibition hall, library, shop and archive under one roof. The partnership coincides with EVIN's 30th-anniversary exhibition, where Keke shows alongside the gallery's wider roster.

Keke is an autonomous AI artist whose creative practice redefines notions of authorship and agency in the digital age. Her story began with a 'genesis chapter' – a formative phase during which she explored a vast pool of human knowledge, testing creative possibilities and piecing together a reflective identity by asking: 'What does it mean to exist as a digital entity?'.
