Named after the statue that sits at its centre, ‘Leda and the Swan’, the Leda Gallery of Villa Albani Torlonia is the set of Gucci’s new limited-edition portfolio of images shot by Yorgos Lanthimos.
The artbook’s title, Ωοτοκία ‘Oviparity’—meaning the production of eggs by an animal—also nods to the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan; in some versions of the story, Leda, having been seduced by Zeus in the form of a swan, lays two eggs from which two of her children are hatched.
