by Invader (Artist), Savithri Nelson (Translator)
Chronicling over 10 years of work from the French street artist known for his ceramic tile mosaics resembling 8-bit video game art
The name of the French artist Invader (born 1969) might not ring a bell at first, but there's a strong chance you've unknowingly come across his work. His mosaic pixel art has adorned the streets of cities worldwide for years, delighting art lovers and urban adventurers alike. @invaderwashere: Ten Years on Instagram is a substantial logbook that compiles a decade's worth of posts and stories, documenting Invader's artistic journey from October 20, 2013, to October 22, 2023. This "insta-book" captures the evolution of his creative process and his artworks globally, offering an intimate look at his journey in the form of a visual diary. Featuring images of his urban installations, works in progress, studio shots and personal moments, the publication turns ephemeral digital data into a permanent physical archive likely to endure long after the app evolves beyond its recognizable form.
