In 2020, amid the COVID-19 year, Invader carried out his largest invasion in a French city after Paris, installing 97 mosaics across Marseille and its surrounding area. The project coincided with his solo exhibition Invader Was Here, held from August 28 to November 11, 2020, at the MaMo (Marseille Modulor), at the invitation of its director Ora Ito.
For several months, the rooftop of Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse served as his open-air studio, allowing the artist to orchestrate this large-scale operation. The resulting map — printed in white and azure blue — perfectly captures the Mediterranean light and spirit of the city.
- Limited edition of 4,000 copies
- Unfolded dimensions: 42 × 60 cm
- Condition: Pristine (10/10) — the map has been meticulously preserved flat and away from light since 2020

Born in 1969, Invader is now certainly considered, alongside Banksy, one of the most famous street artists in the world. It all began in the late 1990s when the Parisian artist decided to install his first mosaic in the streets, referencing the 1980s arcade game Space Invaders. To date, he has installed over 4000 of these mosaics, more than 1500 of which are in Paris. The Flash Invader app, created in 2014, has given him access to an enormous international audience, now boasting nearly 30 million flashes to date.
His work extends across prints, invasion kits, aliases, works made from Rubik’s Cubes, and other pieces and objects that play with pixels and reflect broader popular culture. His fan base is extensive; they are the ones who eagerly buy every book and product the artist regularly releases, as demonstrated by the major retrospective exhibition held in Paris in 2024.
With several auction records, including a piece that sold for over a million euros in 2015, his works are highly valuable today, and collectors compete to acquire their desired pieces. Invader remains a cornerstone of French urban art, regardless of the work or object.
