There was something deeply unsettling about placing the owl in this sacred space. the way the golden asterisks floated above like ancient runes or forgotten prayers. i wanted to capture that moment when wisdom meets worship, but twisted it into something more ethereal. the marble pedestal became an altar for a deity that never asked to be one. the light streaming through those arched windows felt like judgment from another dimension, casting shadows that spoke in tongues we weren't meant to understand. the owl's gaze held secrets from both sides of the veil, neither holy nor profane, but something far more dangerous - indifferent to our need for meaning..

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.
