BXL 2012 Derives - Invasion map

BXL 2012 Dérives – Invasion Map (2012) by Invader is a screen print presented as an unfolded map that documents the artist’s movements and interventions across Brussels. Composed of fine, multicolored lines tracing routes, zones, and points of activity, the work transforms the city into a network of trajectories that reflect both physical displacement and artistic action. The upper section, designed like a data interface or game scoreboard, references Invader’s video game-inspired universe, introducing elements such as waves, scores, and invasions that frame the urban environment as a playable territory. At once cartographic, conceptual, and graphic, the piece functions as a visual archive of the artist’s invasion process, where each line corresponds to the placement of his iconic mosaic works, capturing the intersection of street art, technology, and performance within a limited edition of 50.
