About the artwork

This book, featuring one of the artist's famous "space invaders" on its cover, is his first guide, which he himself refers to as "the genesis". Published in 2003, it is the first edition of the invasion of Paris, the first city to host his works. This guide surveys Invader's work and the works created for the French capital, including photos and maps by arrondissement to locate the first 500 Parisian Space Invaders installed between 1998 and 2003. The first page of this edition is stamped "Space invaded".

Expert opinion

This first edition from 2003, published in 2,500 copies, is considered "cult and unobtainable" by Invader admirers, making it a particularly rare guide.

About the artist

Invader (b. 1969, France) is a leading figure in urban art. He is famous for his Space Invader-inspired mosaics, installed on the walls of over 80 cities worldwide. His work, both discreet and omnipresent, questions visual invasion, collective memory and urban cartography. His visual language, based on the pixel as a basic unit, evokes geek culture, street art and the decorative arts. He also creates limited-edition works, such as this silkscreen, which translate his universe into more intimate formats.

“I kept the name of the game as an alias because it's a perfect definition of my work. I'm a space invader.”
