Deep in the neural folds, where consciousness fragments like shattered mirrors, these faces emerged. they were singing a song that existed before sound, their mouths frozen in an eternal scream that never pierces the air. it reminded me of francis bacon's studies of screaming popes, but instead of religious agony, this was about the collective unconscious trying to wake itself from a dream it cannot escape. the faces multiply like a virus of emotion, each one a reflection of the last, until they fade into the darkness of forgotten memories..

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.
