The memory of that night haunted me for weeks. there he stood, this small figure in his pressed suit, reaching up with a fishing rod toward the neural network of light. it wasn't about catching anything - it was about the audacity of thinking one could harvest fragments of consciousness from the cosmic web above. the branches weren't branches at all, but the exposed circuitry of reality itself, each light a synapse firing in the universal mind. i painted this after reading about the quantum entanglement experiments at CERN, where they managed to link particles across impossible distances. somehow, that sterile laboratory data transformed in my mind into this lonely ritual of reaching for connection..

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.
