SNAFU is a project by Dario Quatrini produced in collaboration with Pressato Coffee and Books. It is a self-produced magazine in A4 format printed in black and white, stapled, with 40 pages, inspired by punk and underground fanzines of the 80s but also by British tabloids.
With a no-frills, raw and essential graphic design, it doesnt’have an index or a specific style, it is rather a sequence of images and texts with no apparent logic – bringing to life without filters the military acronym, which is the title of the project: “Situation Normal: All Fucked Up”. The first issue, “The Chihuahua Issue”, entirely conceived by Dario Quatrini and printed in 100 copies, was presented in April 2024 by Pressato Coffee and Books in Turin
with an installation of maxiposters, a video and a limited edition silkscreen.
The second issue, “The Family Issue,” will be presented on May 9, 2025, again by Pressato Coffee and Books, and will feature the collaboration of artists, designers, and writers.
The project will last on display until June 6, 2025, during store hours.
