An evolving body of work exploring perception, form, and identity—from the human, to the symbolic, to the shared.
A sanctuary for creative perception, shared inquiry, and conscious exploration. Like the world itself, L’Enclos is not where you’ll find answers—but where you’ll encounter reminders to look within, toward The Dreamer.
L’Enclos is the evolving body of work of Martin Lenclos—an artist, designer, and philosophical observer exploring the boundary exploring the boundary where a shift in perception reveals a different reality. It bridges media arts, experiential design, and quiet inquiry into consciousness, producing objects, images, and ideas that question how we see, and who we believe ourselves to be.
These explorations emerge from a lifelong curiosity—not toward what things are, but how they are seen. Martin’s work moves across disciplines but returns always to a single thread: the practice of perceiving with less judgment, and more intimacy.
The projects emerging here—whether a conceptual installation, a visual essay, or a handcrafted piece of furniture—are less about presentation than perception. Each one functions as a kind of device: a mirror, a question, a shift. They arise from a practice that draws equally from philosophical research and the contemplative experience of daily life, integrating media, technology, spiritual inquiry, and design without belonging entirely to any of them.
What unites the work is a single, ongoing experiment: to live as if reality begins in consciousness—not as doctrine, but as a way of seeing. From this point of view, even ordinary objects become symbolic, and design becomes a tool for self-inquiry.
This inquiry is personal. Martin’s practice is less about producing outcomes than noticing the mind’s habits, its fictions, its freedom. He designs not to express, but to perceive—and to invite others into that same spacious attention, where self dissolves and the Dreamer might be remembered.
Through artifacts of awakening, philosophical play, and immersive exploration, the work invites a quiet question: What if the world we experience is shaped not by what’s out there, but by what we are?
The pieces available through the shop—photographs, prints, and designed objects—are all part of this larger gesture. Some are created as “Self-Questioning Devices,” meant to interrupt mental habits and provoke subtle shifts in awareness. Others are simply invitations to see more slowly.
You are welcome to follow this inquiry by subscribing to the letter On Form & the Concept of Self, which gathers thoughts on creative perception, shared dreaming, and the design of meaning.
Why L’Enclos?
L’Enclos is a name inspired by the quiet mystery of French churchyards and by my grandfather—a designer of sacred furniture, who taught me that objects could hold silence, memory, and meaning.
