There was something deeply unsettling about painting an empty shroud suspended in darkness. it reminded me of those moments in particle physics when we observe nothing and that nothing becomes everything. the void wearing the shape of presence, a quantum paradox draped in fabric. The inspiration came from finding an old photograph of a museum installation where the artist had removed all human figures from classical paintings, leaving only their clothes behind. i wanted to take it further - to create something that suggested both absence and sentience, like schrodinger's ghost caught in eternal observation..

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.
