The bodies lined up like specimens in a museum of becoming. each figure more mechanized than the last, as if documenting the slow surrender of flesh to circuitry. it reminded me of those old anatomical drawings where the layers of humanity were peeled away, except here we weren't revealing muscles and bones, but rather the inevitable march toward synthetic transcendence. painted this after spending three days in an abandoned robotics lab, watching dust settle on half-finished androids. their empty eye sockets held more truth than any human gaze i'd encountered..

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.
