PA_1552, Space Invader mosaic in Paris, France.
This mosaic shows a white, simplified alien figure with red square eyes on a black rectangular background, created from small individual tiles.
A small white and black tile is fixed on a wall in Paris: a Space Invader with red eyes staring at you. This pixelated alien is part of a city treasure hunt started by an anonymous artist in the 2000s. Hundreds of these mosaic creatures hide in the city. This one waits at the corner of an ordinary street, easy to miss if you do not look up. Each Space Invader on the Paris walls tells a tiny personal story: the artist notes each position, each find becomes a moment of trust between him and the person who discovers it. It is a quiet invitation to see Paris differently, to look beyond what you see at eye level, and to turn a simple walk into a game of city detective.
