Magdalena Wywrot, Pestka (Deadbeat Club)

Magdalena Wyrot’s Pestka, published by Deadbeat Club, was a standout book from the end of 2024. Wywrot photographed her life in Poland with her daughter Barbara (also known as Pestka) over a period of eight years. She gave around 600 images to David Campany, ICP’s Creative Director, to select and sequence. Clint and Alex Woodside of Deadbeat Club then refined the design and chose the materials. On the wall here is a selection of final spreads from printed but unbound pages, along with test prints.
