3. My interest for Street Art began with Banksy’s performance in New York in
October 2013. I then discovered that Space Invader had invaded Lausanne,
Geneva, Bern and Basel in Switzerland. During that period I became aware of
beautiful mirror mosaics randomly placed in Pully, near Lausanne.
After this initial period, I began to make a virtual trip around the world, looking
for Invader’s work online. This is the result of my quest.
This document follows a first synthesis made in 2014, a 2nd one in 2017 and a
more recent one in January 2018
