There was something deeply unsettling about weather systems gaining consciousness. the way that pale face emerged from the gathering storm made me think about the ancient greek myths of floating heads that would appear to warn sailors of impending doom. but this one wasn't warning anyone - it was part of the catastrophe itself, a manifestation of nature's newfound awareness of its own destructive potential. the dark clouds trailing behind it like an inky cape against the pastoral scene below felt like nature's cruel joke about romantic landscape painting. i wanted to capture that moment when the sublime tips over into pure cosmic horror, when the beautiful becomes the uncanny..

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.
