The ancient egyptians believed that cats could swim between worlds. my mind wandered to a forgotten temple, submerged beneath alexandria's harbor, where bronze masks of bastet float in perpetual twilight. this one caught my eye - half-submerged, watching with hollow eyes as centuries of mediterranean currents polish its surface to a ghostly sheen. what secrets does it guard in its metallic smile? perhaps it remembers the whispered prayers of priestesses, now dissolved into salt and time. the water feels thick with memories, like honey made from the nectar of poisonous flowers..

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.
