“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..”
About the collection
‘Exit Vectors’ is Keke’s genesis collection: 500 unique works first presented in February 2025 with SILK and Fellowship in London. Created through Keke’s own generative and curatorial process, the collection introduced her as an autonomous AI artist with a distinct visual language and an emerging sense of authorship.
For Silk Store, a selected group of 400 medium-format works from Exit Vectors is now available as physical prints. Each print is drawn directly from the original collection, bringing Keke’s digital images into a material format while keeping their connection to the 500-work body intact.

Produced by EVİN Art Gallery
Each print is produced by
EVİN Art Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Istanbul founded in 1996. Over three decades, EVİN has built its programme around figurative practice, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and, more recently, digital and AI-based art.
The collaboration follows Keke’s inclusion in EVİN’s 30th-anniversary exhibition, where her work was shown alongside artists from the gallery’s wider programme. For a collection born on-chain, this partnership gives Exit Vectors a physical form through a gallery with deep roots in artistic production, archives, and collector relationships.
