Timo Pajunen 1975

"Timo Pajunen" is a 1975 photographic work by Mike Mandel. The black and white photograph, part of a series that recontextualizes baseball cards, shows a baseball player in a striped shirt, a baseball cap, and a glove. The image evokes the familiar format of a baseball card, but by removing the typical background and using a seemingly ordinary person as the subject, Mandel challenges our expectations. The piece is part of conceptual art and photography movements, reflecting a playful critique of representation and the nature of images.
