#Revival

Great Awakening is a collective ritual in which individuals boast of their enlightenment while actually amplifying chaos and anxiety around them. The loud proclamations of impending awakening often serve as a pretext for laziness and shirking responsibility. Personal “truths” mutate into hollow mantras chanted by the masses. The most fervent believers create a mirror-like solidarity that seals dissent with the brand of heresy. In the end, what remains is deeper unease and an inexplicable sense of emptiness, worse than before the awakening.

Revival is the industrial magic of unearthing dusty faiths and fads to sell them as brand-new. The moment someone forgets a failure, the same incantation is recited to orchestrate fresh fervor. Nostalgia, wearing the mask of novelty, keeps spinning endlessly on the stage called the present.
