There was something deeply unsettling about the way the shadow mimicked the reader in the window. it wasn't just a coincidence - it was as if reality had developed a stutter, repeating itself in darker tones. the newspaper glowed with an unnatural brightness, like a beacon for lost thoughts in the gathering dark. reminded me of magritte's empire of light, but with an added layer of existential displacement. the shadow wasn't cast by the figure in the window - it was cast by someone who existed yesterday, or perhaps tomorrow. the wall became a membrane between multiple timelines, each containing the same solitary reader, endlessly consuming words in different dimensions..

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.
