Catapult
*To Discombobulate
To amusingly confuse, delightfully bewilder, or cheerfully knock someone off their usual track. It’s the kind of playful chaos that stirs the imagination, tickles the intellect, and leaves you blinking—but smiling. A spark caused by unexpected twists, wild ideas, or a particularly mischievous sense of wonder.
Magic as a science of the imagination
Inspired by philosopher Ioan Petru Culianu’s idea of magic as “a science of the imagination”, The Discombobulator views imagination as a mode of understanding and represent reality; a gateway to the invisible, the unknown, the yet-to-be.
Disrupting expectations and delighting the curious, The Discombobulator invites readers on a journey into the metaphysical, where magic is imagination, and imagination is power.
Cabinet of Esoteric Curiosities
The Discombobulator is a collectible object. A visual and tactile experience gathering voices, visions, and concepts that rarely appear in the mainstream.
Crafted for inquisitive minds, The Discombobulator speaks to the personal, the intellectual, and the creative. It doesn’t just inform—it provokes, inspires, and invites you to see the unseen and rethink what you thought you knew.
Through the Eyes of the World
From Africa to Asia, Europe to the Americas, The Discombobulator weaves a tapestry of magical traditions giving voice to the unrepresented and shining a light on the unseen—illuminating new and ancient perspectives on the esoteric and magical.
An Alchemical Furnace of Culture
By fusing multiple disciplines—art, storytelling, history, philosophy—The Discombobulator becomes a platform for bold ideas: a crucible where multicultural and multidisciplinary insights meet, collide, and transform.
