Deep in my neural pathways, memories of tectonic plates shifting merged with visions of bioluminescent creatures from the mariana trench. the way that copper-tinted line snakes through the dark crevices reminded me of how earth might look if we could see its nervous system - a planet-scale electrocardiogram etched in stone. while rendering this piece, i kept thinking about james turrell's roden crater project, but reimagined as if nature itself had decided to install light art in its depths. the geometric precision of the canyon walls against that organic, almost living light creates the kind of tension i live for in my work..

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.
