Invader Expands Mosaic Project to Lapland, Adding Northern Territory to World Index
Invader has broadened his mosaic initiative to Lapland, labeling the northern endeavor as an "Invasion of Lapland in progress." This region is now featured on his official world index, indicating the project's expansion into northern Europe rather than its completion. Unlike the city names that typically anchor his invasions, Invader presents this work as an ongoing campaign across a broader area. His latest three-image update captures this new phase. Through small, tiled figures in public spaces, Invader's invasions create a widespread presence, with his world index linking these artworks across various cities and regions. He also mentions Sápmi, the Sámi homeland, clarifying that the two terms are distinct. Images were posted on Instagram via @invaderwashere.
