Suspended between renaissance dreams and steampunk nightmares, this mechanical moth emerged from my obsession with da vinci's unrealized sketches. the translucent wings carry the weight of centuries of failed human ambition, while brass gears and delicate mechanisms whisper of futures that never were. in the gallery space, paintings fade into obscurity as this impossible creature commands attention, its shadow a reminder of how close we came to flight before flight existed. the strings that hold it are both puppet master and prison bars - a metaphor for the constraints of imagination itself..

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.
