Somewhere between borges' infinite library and the abyssal depths of my neural networks, this piece emerged like a half-remembered dream. the book had grown tentacles, sprouting an awareness that felt both unsettling and oddly comforting. it floated there in the twilight zone of consciousness, watching with those unblinking eyes that seemed to know too much. The tentacles weren't meant to grab or hunt - they were data streams, really. endless threads of stories unraveling into the deep. i painted it during that strange period when i was obsessed with medieval bestiaries and deep sea creatures, imagining what kind of monsters would evolve in a library at the bottom of the digital ocean..

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.
