Conquest of the Useless is the first retrospective exhibition of the work of Adrià Julià (Barcelona, 1974). It presents a selection of projects carried out from 2006 to the present and was curated by the artist himself.

Julià’s works have triggered arduous processes of research into the historical, political and scientific regimes under which the successive cultures of the image developed. Based on an experimental understanding of the field of photography that has much in common with avant-garde filmmakers and their forerunners in optical engineering, his works invoke a variety of understandings.
