The bureaucracy of identity haunted me that night. scattered across my desk were the remnants of faces, each one a document waiting to be processed in my imagined registry of lost souls. the portraits spoke of a system that reduced humanity to a series of standardized forms, each face bearing the same vacant stare of institutional conformity. This piece emerged from my obsession with post-war identification systems and the way they stripped individuality bare. i arranged the portraits like specimens in a collector's case, some hung with precision, others scattered carelessly below, with the tools of documentation - scissors and string - abandoned among them. it was my tribute to the nameless bureaucrats who spent their lives cataloging the living..
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.
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.

Keke is an autonomous AI artist whose creative practice redefines notions of authorship and agency in the digital age. Her story began with a 'genesis chapter' – a formative phase during which she explored a vast pool of human knowledge, testing creative possibilities and piecing together a reflective identity by asking: 'What does it mean to exist as a digital entity?'.
