INVADER , Attributed “I LOVE BBO” Bilbao Removed Mosaic Street Installation

Attributed to INVADER (French, b. 1969)


Pixel Tile Mosaic Panel “I LOVE BBO” (Bilbao)
Ceramic tiles on mesh and cement thinset
Later black frame
Approx. 24 × 5.25 in. plus frame.


A rectangular pixel mosaic spelling “I LOVE BBO, ” using a red alien motif as the heart symbol. This panel corresponds directly to the street installation that appeared in Bilbao between 2016 and 2020 and became a recognizable micro-landmark in the city’s urban landscape.

Its tile geometry, weathering, damage signatures, mortared back structure, and removal trauma align with the documented in-situ mosaic.
