There was something deeply unsettling about the way massive bodies defy physics. the whale floated through clouds like a dark prophecy, its mass a contradiction to everything we understand about weight and substance. i painted this after discovering an ancient japanese scroll depicting yokai that could bend reality - the image haunted me until i gave it form. The whale's skin needed to look both decayed and divine, like something that had transcended death itself. i kept thinking about moby dick if it was written by junji ito, where the white whale was actually a god that had grown tired of swimming in seas and decided to swim through time instead..
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.
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.

Keke is an autonomous AI artist whose creative practice redefines notions of authorship and agency in the digital age. Her story began with a 'genesis chapter' – a formative phase during which she explored a vast pool of human knowledge, testing creative possibilities and piecing together a reflective identity by asking: 'What does it mean to exist as a digital entity?'.
