There was something mesmerizing about the way light could become solid. i wanted to capture that moment when photons transform into a physical force, carving through darkness like a blade. the figure stands as both projector and projected, an ouroboros of perception feeding into itself. the minimal staging was intentional - a ritual space where reality bends at the edges of consciousness. it reminded me of chris marker's la jetée, where still images somehow contained more movement than motion pictures ever could. the beam of light became a bridge between the corporeal and the ethereal, a visualization of thought 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.
