When the Lumière brothers screened their first short film, the impression of reality was so ‘new’ that when a train “arrives”, spectators are terrified by the locomotive that appears to be dashing towards them. Disbelief is suspended in favour of immersion into the fiction of the screen.

Danilo Correale further elaborates on the collapse of reality into hyperrealism as identified by Baudrillard in Symbolic Exchange and Death. The work shown at Entrée, We Are Making History, consists of a three-channel video that features a Chroma Key-equipped film studio, where the production rhetoric and the backstage itself are revealed. The viewers will face 'the image for what it is’, in what is now perceived as the standard definition of digital cinema.

Danilo Correale (b.1982) lives and works in Naples, Italy. We Are Making History was commissioned and shown at Manifesta 8. Correale has exhibited at The 11th Istanbul Biennal, Pistoletto Foundation, MADRE Contemporary Art Museum, Kunstraum Lakeside and Klagenfurth among other places. He`s been in residency at A.I.R. Antwerpen, Belgium and Mazama Residence, Seattle.
