Invader
Invader is an internationally recognized French artist, known for his placement of mosaics inspired by the 1970s computer game Space Invaders.
This book charts just a part of Invader's project - started over a decade ago - which has spread to more than 40 cities around the world, including London, Paris, Berlin, Cologne, Amsterdam, Brussels, Sao Paolo, Mombasa, Bilbao, Los Angeles, Manchester, Istanbul, Vienna, Newcastle, Tokyo, Bangkok and Melbourne
Exploring the nature of a discreet invasion of the urban landscape, this publication is a fascinating and meticulous documentation of a phenomenon of international proportions
Extensive photography of mosaics and surrounding areas
Highlights include several anecdotes about the mosaics by the artist himself as well as other projects that happened in Paris
L’Invasion de Paris 2.0: Prolifération charts the second phase of Invader’s Paris project, recording 500 additional mosaics put up in Paris from 2003 to 2011.
More than a simple photo book, it is a “precise and functional guide” with archives, city maps, an index, and over a thousand images detailing each new mosaic across the “City of Light”
