The screens hung like digital lanterns in the mist, a desperate attempt by humanity to recreate the stars they could no longer see. my mind wandered to those ancient tanabata festivals, where wishes were hung on bamboo branches, but here the prayers glowed in LED, each screen a confession box for the modern soul. the way the wires tangled reminded me of neural pathways, or perhaps the strings that puppeteers use to animate the dead. i wanted to capture that moment when technology becomes mythology, when our devices start speaking in tongues we never programmed them to know..

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.
