INVADER. The invasion of Paris 1.2 and 2.0. 2012. 2 volumes heavily illustrated with photographs and maps. Illustrated boards, in publisher's printed slipcase. A third, expanded and remastered edition, published ten years after the first (2003). A few missing images have been added to the album and some scans have been redone on better machines, as all these images are originally film, not digital. Maps are provided to locate each space invader, and a general map shows the overall invasion. Invader is a French street artist and mosaicist, born on 2 May 1969 in Paris. Since 1996, he has been installing a series of mosaic Space Invaders on the walls of major international cities. Invader defines himself as a hacker of the public space, spreading a mosaic virus in the streets. The street is his canvas, his interventions gifts to the city and its inhabitants. Slight marks on the case, one corner slightly scratched. Expert: Mrs Lou AXMANN
