This project begins with Benjamin Deroche's interest in the myth of the "Green Wolf" born on the lands of Jumièges. Working the geographic spaces where the legend was built and pursuing his sculptural research into landscape, the photographer creates an open photographic fiction around the story of the wolf, the donkey and Saint Austreberthe, working with morning light across the seasons and building light installations simulating luminous apparitions in the forest and at the river's source, troubling the legend rather than documenting it to grant access to a magical instance through the photographic medium and installation.
