INVADER: In Conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist offers unique insight into the enigmatic French street artist, renowned for his iconic ceramic tile mosaics inspired by the pixelated 8-bit video game art of the 1970s and 80s.
INVADER features an expansive, in-depth interview conducted by Hans Ulrich Obrist, which guides readers through the artist’s recent Paris exhibition, Invader Space Station (17 February – 5 May 2024), in the first section and through his studio in the second, offering an unparalleled glimpse into Invader’s technical and creative processes, and the global impact of his work. The first section of the book traces the route of the exhibition – held at the former offices of the newspaper Libération – with sub-chapters corresponding to the ‘levels’ of the show, reflecting on the conceptual and spatial dimensions of Invader’s work and his position as a ‘hacker’ of public spaces. The second section takes place in the artist’s studio where the conversation continues on a more personal note, offering an intimate look into Invader’s creative world.
Richly illustrated, the book maps Invader’s numerous artistic encounters, from the graphic novels of Enki Bilal to legendary street artists like Leonard Hilton McGurr (aka Futura 2000) and Tsang Tsou-choi (the ‘King of Kowloon’), as well as his relationships with contemporaries including the provocative British artist Damien Hirst, American artist and activist Shepard Fairey and New York graffiti artist Revs.

About the Author
When he's not travelling the world to ‘invade’ it with his pixelated mosaics, Invader exhibits his work in galleries and museums, and makes books and objects. As an enigmatic character, he operates anonymously and always appears masked.
Hans Ulrich Obrist (b.1968) is a world-renowned curator and the artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries in London. Alongside his curatorial practice, Obrist has written extensively on and around contemporary art, with a particular interest in the interview format.
Invader (b.1969) is a pseudonymous French street artist known for his ‘invasions’ of cities, where he leaves trails of 20–50 signature mosaics across urban locations. As of September 2024, there are 4021 ‘invaders’ in the world, across 83 territories. To accompany his citywide installations, Invader publishes books and maps guiding viewers to his mosaics. He has exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, with solo shows in cities including London, Los Angeles, Lyon, Melbourne, New York, Osaka, Paris and Rome
