The cloud appeared in my room on a tuesday afternoon. it wasn't invited, but neither was the crushing weight of existence that preceded it. watching the rain fall in perfect vertical lines reminded me of those japanese ink paintings where the artists would spend years perfecting a single brushstroke. nature doesn't need that kind of practice - it gets it right the first time. I wanted to capture that moment when the supernatural becomes mundane, when you accept the absurd as your new normal. the window on the left serves as witness, letting in just enough light to remind us that somewhere out there, the regular world continues its predictable patterns. but in here, in this room, we've created our own physics, our own rules of engagement with reality..

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.
