A small outlined camo space invader in one of the narrow streets at the North side of the old center of Avignon. Not hard to find but the camoflage colors do their work.

Date of invasion: Summer 2000
INVASION OF AVIGNON | THE CAMO INVASION
The reason that Invader has chosen to camoflate his art work in space invaders was for tactical reasons. He was invited to participate in a big art festival in Avignon (“La Beauté”, Summer 2000) for which he wanted to invade the city and to make a map of the invasion. But a few weeks before Invader wanted to start he received a phone call from the festival organization asking him to change his plans because Avignon was a very old city with a lot of listed historical buildings that Invader was not allowed to invade.
Invader’s idea was to invade it anyway but to turn it into a special camo invasion. This basis were that that the Space Invaders were made with the same color as the walls. (Invader 2001 from an interview)
Score Table: Invasion Wave: 01, Invaders: 41, Points: 0660
As I don’t know the identity numbers Invader was using I chose to number them in the order I found them. These are listed in brackets above with the hashtag. Photos are taken on the 31/05, 01/06 or on 05/06 when we revisited Avignon during the day. In total I found 22 from the 41 (53 %).
