He filmed constantly...

NARRATOR: The magical combination

We have a mountain of...

One picture, yeah.

[springs creaking repeatedly]

Most artists spend years perfecting their craft,

into the venue for his first major U.S. exhibition,

by transforming the cavernous space

but, you know, it's kind of... I think...

So this guy shows up

from Miami and New York

hanging stuff, moving stuff, carrying stuff,

# These lights in our street are ours #

that, when you're close to it,

I used to think everyone should do it.

[muttering indistinctly]

that we're getting a lot of this stuff on tape.

and going on top of something

putting the paintings up on the walls themselves.

Look at this. It's really big.

that we would never have had otherwise.

This room looks interesting.

until they became meaningless,

[crowd chattering]

kind of the same story of Obey,

It was an hour and a half

They said, It's impossible.

Peace to the whole world.

It was kind of fun,

So I went to Los Angeles at about spring 2006,

# They tell no lies #

from every corner, they were on me.

now set for just three weeks away,

filming at night and street,

In the months that followed,

Two beers. A couple beers.

it's about time.

There should be more stuff like this in Los Angeles.

re-creating the character, kind of way.

What exactly was Thierry filming for?

and I handed some out first of all,

I love the design of it.

because it was, like, a mix of fears

No one's really done it the way he's done it.

the first 200 people to turn up

Yeah, we were, you know, laughing like trains

So that obviously seemed like the best place to put him.

if he copies...

so Thierry now started

pom, pom, pom, pom, pom,

That big image, I thought it was kind of cool.

and this is the way that I made it.

When I came, I came with a camera,

Thierry struggled to keep himself entertained

# They tell no lies #

NARRATOR: With a crew of 20 people

Invader visited Los Angeles for the first time,

he could fix it all up.

# Tonight the streets are ours #

It was the name of my best friend

ready for her big moment.

But I respect passion.

Sometimes in life, you have to go... to go...

And I start doing it

I don't really do that so much anymore.

and this piece has been pulled back a little bit.
