Fantômas is a series depicting the odd jobs that are disdained in Kinshasa, and which have the peculiarity of requiring fancy dress to be worn. In KLV ("kilolove"), the father dresses up as a clown and puts on an act in bars in exchange for a few cents. Maski depicts him at home with his wife before setting off for work. Gaël Maski talks extensively with his models before photographing them. In this case, he was struck by the love that unites this couple despite being socially discredited, and sought to render it.
