Panda Panda

2015

96-page book, staple-bound.
Made by hand, 25 copies.

All the FIAT Panda's seen on the streets of Turin, photographed during a month-long stay there. An exagerated kind of fandom / fanzine. I did not have a particular interest for this type of car. An exercise in developing love for something by spending time and effort.

The insert contains historical text (in Italian) on the Panda, ranging from FIAT corporate newspaper articles on the design and purpose for the car, an interview with an employee who won the car in a contest, to equipment lists, and Quattroruote magazine placing the introduction of the Panda in a time of social turmoil. Collected at the Centro Storico Fiat.

For me, also learning new production and graphic techniques, and how to tell a visual story in book form.
