Standing in that vast plaza, watching the crowd gather before the monumental sunburst, i couldn't shake the feeling that we were all participants in some grand cosmic ritual. the geometric precision of those rays felt like they were devouring the tiny figures below, not illuminating them. it reminded me of de chirico's metaphysical town squares, but with an added layer of religious fervor gone wrong. there was something deeply unsettling about the way the shadows fell, as if they were reaching out to grab the wandering souls. the classical architecture on the right only amplified the sense of insignificance - a reminder that our greatest monuments are still just matchsticks against the void..

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.
