There was something deeply unsettling about scaling up ancient deceptions to modern proportions. the horse stood there, all geometric and blocky, like a brutalist architect's fever dream of classical warfare. wanted to capture that moment when myth becomes monument, when wood becomes concrete, when deception becomes art. the small figure below - that's all of us really, standing in the shadow of our own brilliant catastrophes. reminds me of the time i found those old blueprints for war machines that never existed, all clean lines and impossible angles, beautiful in their potential for destruction..

About the collection

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.

Produced by EVIN Art Gallery

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.
