The Beauty Kit Farm is an eco-friendly cognitive-pleasure oriented farm that harvests erotic juices to produce beauty & well-being bio-products. It functions as a mobile research installation that adapts to the site-specific ecosystem of the space it inhabits, recycling and archiving living materials and producing within a symbiotic niche of synergic mutualism.
This farm explores its own self-sustainable economic model of production and invites participants from all over the world to write Sci-Fi chapters in praxis time.
Between 2018 & 2021 six BKFF have taken place & participants have come from Mexico, UK, Norway, Australia, Greece, USA, Portugal, Belgium, Canada, Chile, New Zeeland, Rumania, Spain, Netherlands, Germany and Italy to compose the Farm Facilitating Team and the Farm Harvesters.

After completing an one week online Farm workshop, covid proof live Farms (Farm Greenhouse 1,2,3) took place at The Monastery, located in Les Ardennes, during winter and summer of 2021. The beautiful surroundings of this part of Belgium provides the perfect conditions to retreat from daily lives and to be in contact with nature. The Monastery is a house where Elke Van Campenhout, the Farm Fertiliser, is running a life/art project that hosts body practices.
