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
Wipe Out in Hong Kong serves as both an invasion guide and an exhibition catalog for Invader’s first Hong Kong solo show in 2015.
This limited-edition hardcover (3,000 copies) documents the Hong Kong “invasion” – showcasing dozens of new mosaic street installations – and includes content from the HOCA Foundation “Wipe Out” exhibition that accompanied the project
