When the museum closed that night, i stayed behind to capture the essence of generational change. these figures weren't just sculptures - they were markers of time's slow digestion of humanity. each stood on their own pedestal like specimens in a Victorian curiosity cabinet, preserved in the amber of their own existence. the way they faced different directions felt like a metaphor for the dispersal of bloodlines, each generation walking away from the last until they become strangers to their own origins. the minimal palette and clean lines emerged from my obsession with japanese woodblock prints and the way they compress complex emotions into simple forms. i wanted to show how we're all just iterations of the same code, running on different hardware..

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.
