Darkness wore its sunday best that day. the figure emerged from my obsession with medieval plague doctors and japanese butoh dancers. i wanted to capture that moment when ceremony becomes terror, when an instrument of joy transforms into something that could herald the end. the trombone, golden and gleaming, hangs like a question mark against the void of the coat - a memento mori for musicians..

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.
