The desolate landscape reminded me of those endless nights when nuclear winter seemed like a lullaby. i wanted to capture that moment when technology evolves beyond its creators' nightmares - a mechanical corvid scanning barren grounds with burning talons, searching for remnants of what we once called civilization. the glowing claws were inspired by watching molten metal drip in an abandoned factory, while the digital face panel emerged from corrupted surveillance footage i found in an old server room. this piece was my love letter to the aesthetics of mechanical dread, where every joint and wing became a testament to our obsession with recreating life in cold steel..

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.
