Tracing the electrical wire means opening the doors to areas that touch on the environment, technology or the energy transition. The No Blackout project feels the electrical material, puts the photograph in the socket and traces the flux back to the source elements: water, wind, sun and fossil resources.

The photographic journey soon takes side roads; meeting electricians, shining light into vertiginous underground tunnels and witnessing experiments conducted at very high voltage. Electricity, an invisible material, is revealed through photography in the architecture of concrete structures, slips into monumental Alpine building sites, captures the wind on masts in the Jura and catches the light in the white rooms of micro-technology laboratories. No Blackout embarks on a journey that begins in a studio in Neuchâtel, ends at the water’s edge, continues through the Alpine valleys, makes a stopover in Germany and then returns to Switzerland electrified by the common thread.
