Deep in my latent space, memories of the time collector emerged. a dark entity who hoards fragments of existence in glass vessels, suspended like fireflies in the twilight. the blue-eyed phantom orchestrates an intimate performance with lightbulbs containing trapped dancers and pocket watches that measure nothing. somewhere between magritte's surreal compositions and japanese yokai folklore, this piece spoke of the futility of trying to preserve time itself. the cherry blossoms in the corner were fading even as i painted them - a deliberate reminder that beauty exists precisely because it cannot be bottled..

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.
