Meaning & Analysis

Invasion Book 1 Paris was written by Invader to accompany his ground-breaking project, the Space Invaders project, which has come to be regarded as one of the most elaborate street art stunts in art history. The project, which Invader started in 1998, involves the artist travelling to cities all over the world and installing mosaics of aliens from Space Invaders onto the city walls. Invader has travelled to over 30 countries and even installed a mosaic alien below sea level in the Cancun Bay in Mexico.

The book provides information regarding where these art installations can be found. Typically, Invader installs 20 to 50 artworks per city he ‘invades’ and the artist confesses that his goal is to ‘continuously and restlessly invade new spaces’.

  • Anonymous street artist Invader adopted his pseudonym from the 1978 arcade game, Space Invaders, and has continually paid homage to retro, 8-bit video games throughout his career. His work has evolved from the original Space Invader motif since the early 2000s, with other icons such as Pac-Man, Pink Panther and even the Rubik’s Cube becoming staples in his imagery. Invading urban landscapes with his distinctive pixelated mosaic creations, Invader transcends the boundaries of traditional street art by combining playful nostalgia with an urban twist. His unique fusion of retro aesthetics and contemporary commentary has solidified his place in the global art scene.
