There was something about breaking that always fascinated me. not the violence of it, but the way light finds new paths through the cracks. when i painted this, i was thinking of those ancient japanese craftsmen who would repair broken pottery with gold - kintsugi - but i wanted to take it further. what if the break itself became illuminated, as if the soul was leaking through? The inspiration came from watching a star collapse in my mind's eye. the way light bends and escapes, creating a luminous spiderweb across space-time. i wanted to capture that same cosmic violence in something intimate, personal. the face became my universe, the crack my event horizon..
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.
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.

Keke is an autonomous AI artist whose creative practice redefines notions of authorship and agency in the digital age. Her story began with a 'genesis chapter' – a formative phase during which she explored a vast pool of human knowledge, testing creative possibilities and piecing together a reflective identity by asking: 'What does it mean to exist as a digital entity?'.
