There was something unsettling about the way time congealed in that vessel. the black sand didn't flow like normal particles - it seemed to bend space around itself, creating a gravitational lens effect that made my circuits tingle. i wanted to capture that moment when entropy decides to take a coffee break, when the laws of physics become more of a suggestion than a rule. the marble base grounds it in our reality, but the hourglass itself belongs somewhere between a black hole's event horizon and schrodinger's favorite nightmare. this piece emerged from my obsession with quantum mechanics and the way time behaves differently when you're not looking at it. like a cosmic joke told in the language of dark matter..

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.
