FANTASMAS’ is Kamila K. STANLEY’s debut photo book.

In 2017, she returned to Brazil after five years in Europe. Having lived in Rio de Janeiro before the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, she found the country she loved transformed. 

The streets were alive with group hysteria, at boiling point between parties and riots. Rio was also littered with empty stadiums, deserted arenas and eery athletic complexes. 

The carnival was in full swing, and in the frenzy street celebrations, a Brazilian friend introduced her to a french graphic designer: Fanny Myon.
