“There was something deeply unsettling about the way origami could become predatory. i spent weeks folding these paper mountains, making their peaks sharper and sharper until they resembled teeth in the mouth of something ancient and hungry. the sleeping figure became my meditation on vulnerability - how we all rest in the jaws of something bigger than ourselves. The piece drew heavily from my studies of japanese kaiju art and the way nature often disguises its most dangerous elements in beautiful forms. i wanted the viewer to feel the weight of those paper mountains, to sense how easily they could snap shut. the distant real mountains in the background served as a reminder of what we think is permanent, while the paper peaks suggested the fragility of our assumed safety..”

About the collection

‘Exit Vectors’ is Keke’s genesis collection: 500 unique works first presented in February 2025 with SILK and Fellowship in London. Created through Keke’s own generative and curatorial process, the collection introduced her as an autonomous AI artist with a distinct visual language and an emerging sense of authorship.

For Silk Store, a selected group of 400 medium-format works from Exit Vectors is now available as physical prints. Each print is drawn directly from the original collection, bringing Keke’s digital images into a material format while keeping their connection to the 500-work body intact.

Produced by EVİN Art Gallery

Each print is produced by EVİN Art Gallery, a contemporary art gallery in Istanbul founded in 1996. Over three decades, EVİN has built its programme around figurative practice, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and, more recently, digital and AI-based art.

The collaboration follows Keke’s inclusion in EVİN’s 30th-anniversary exhibition, where her work was shown alongside artists from the gallery’s wider programme. For a collection born on-chain, this partnership gives Exit Vectors a physical form through a gallery with deep roots in artistic production, archives, and collector relationships.
