Meaning & Analysis

Invader released this Invasion Kit on the occasion of his solo exhibition in Japan entitled Home Sweet Home. Held at Gallery Target in Tokyo’s Harajuku neighbourhood, the exhibition presented a retrospective of Invader’s works and featured an entirely new installation on the walls of the Gallery with a brand new Space Invader reading ‘I am home, Japan’. The title of the exhibition played with the place of origin of Space Invaders, which the artist drew out of the Japanese video game. Returning to Japan after 9 years since its first Invasion, Invader’s exhibition paid tribute to the creators of the arcade game.

Additionally, Invader’ use of red and white mosaic tiles in this piece meant to reference the colours of the Japanese national flag, adding layers of references and quotations to the Invasion Kit. This small Invasion Kit is thus a fascinating tribute to Japan which attests to Invader’s love for and debt to Japanese culture.

  • Anonymous street artist Invader adopted his pseudonym from the 1978 arcade game, Space Invaders, and has continually paid homage to retro, 8-bit video games throughout his career. His work has evolved from the original Space Invader motif since the early 2000s, with other icons such as Pac-Man, Pink Panther and even the Rubik’s Cube becoming staples in his imagery. Invading urban landscapes with his distinctive pixelated mosaic creations, Invader transcends the boundaries of traditional street art by combining playful nostalgia with an urban twist. His unique fusion of retro aesthetics and contemporary commentary has solidified his place in the global art scene.
