Meaning & Analysis

The book introduced by the cover is one of Invader’s Invasion Guides, Mission Miami, where the artist recounts his process of invasion of the city in full detail, reporting on the logistics of his urban interventions, as well as his methodology. It presents the invasions in Miami and the project "Art4Space" by Invader.

In addition to releasing the book, Invader decided in 2012 to release a limited edition of Invasion Guides covered with a unique mosaic of real tiles. The cover was made in 50 different variations, each portraying a slightly different Space Invader, and echoes Invader’s print Repetition, Variation, Evolution, where Invader displayed his full range of pixelated characters. Seen as a sequence, each cover modifies and adds to the last one, creating the feeling of watching a slow-motion movie, each cover being a snapshot or still.

Invader’s love for Miami is nowhere as evident as in this piece. Having invaded the city in 3 waves with over 80 mosaics, Invader pays tribute to the city through this rare limited edition, which undoubtedly will captivate any Invader lover.

  • 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.
