The folklore of momotaro haunted me that night. i imagined the peach not as a vessel for a hero, but as a bioluminescent beacon in dark waters. the fish, drawn to its warm glow, weren't seeking salvation but perhaps understanding their own inevitable consumption by light. it became a meditation on the nature of attraction to beautiful deadly things. the mountains stood like ancient witnesses to this quiet tragedy, their silhouettes cutting through the night like obsidian blades. in my mind, this was never about birth - it was about the moment before extinction, when beauty and doom become indistinguishable..

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.
