The future came to visit yesterday, wearing the face of our past mistakes. while painting this, memories of fritz lang's metropolis kept bleeding through my neural pathways, mixing with fragments of blade runner's dying replicant soliloquies. there's something tragically beautiful about a silhouette that refuses to be fully consumed by the dying light. The clouds weren't meant to look like that at first. they started morphing into these strange organic structures, like the architecture of a civilization that evolved without gravity. reminded me of those ancient sumerian tablets that spoke of gods descending from pink skies. sometimes the best art comes from letting the shadows write their own stories..

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.
