The mosaics are half-built inadvance. When Invader arrives in acity he obtains a map and spendsat least a week installing them.They are catalogued, photographedand Invader uses a map indicatingtheir locations within the city.Typically, mosaics are located tento fifteen feet above the ground,and often on street corners in areasof high visibility.
