In November 2019, Invader carried out an impressive invasion on the island of Djerba, Tunisia, at the invitation of Mehdi Ben Cheikh, director of Galerie Itinerrance in Paris. A total of 58 mosaics were installed across the island, transforming it into an open-air museum and expanding Invader’s global project to North Africa. This Djerba edition is directly linked to the project “Djerbahood,” a landmark street art initiative that brought together over 150 international artists.
Designed as a treasure hunt map, this edition captures the spirit of exploration and playfulness that defines the artist’s work — a unique and charming addition to any serious collection.

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.
