Artist Bedri Baykam’s latest exhibition, “8 Seconds that Changed the World,” delves into the circumstances surrounding John F. Kennedy’s death. Fittingly, the show at Piramid Sanat opened on the anniversary of his death, Nov. 22.
Baykam believes obviously neither the United States nor the world have never been the same since Kennedy’s death. “Actually to sum it up, the world has become a worse place afterwards,” Baykam said, “Even the ‘8 seconds’ has been very much debated. For some it’s 5.6 seconds, for some other it’s 7... I am among those who believe that there is a first shot that missed the car and we see Kennedy surprised and he stops waving his hands.
