The starting point of this creation is Benjamin Deroche's interest in the myth of the "Green Wolf" born on the lands of Jumièges. By working on the geographical spaces where the legend was constructed and by continuing his plastic research on the landscape, the photographer creates an open photographic fiction around the story of the wolf, the donkey and Saint Austreberthe, "the shining one of the East". Taking into account that the figure of the wolf holds a primordial place in pre-Christian myths, the photographer weaves a link between the reported legend and the mystical atmospheres of the places visited. Throughout the seasons, he works on morning lights and sets up plastic installations simulating luminous apparitions in the forest and at the source of the Ste Austreberthe river. This book The Light of the Wolf is the result of a residency by Benjamin Deroche at the Jumièges Abbey from June to November 2019. The exhibition is presented exclusively in the gardens.
