BERLIN, GERMANY | January 3–7, 2026
Documentation of the five-day total blackout that paralyzed the German capital following a targeted attack on critical energy infrastructure. From January 3rd to January 7th, major sections of the metropolitan power grid remained offline, affecting millions of residents and halting public services.
Investigations by federal authorities confirmed that the outage was the result of deliberate sabotage at key substations. These images record the city’s transition from the initial systemic collapse to the gradual restoration of power, capturing a landscape of darkened districts, disrupted logistics, and the heightened security presence throughout the city.
A visual record of Berlin’s most significant infrastructure crisis in recent history.
