"Anais Martane : Portraits of Beijing, Solo Exhibition" opened at Pekin Fine Arts in Beijing on June 20 and runs through August 10, 2009. "Portraits of Beijing" is a personal reflection on the pluralities of China; of the men and women from all walks of life who make Beijing what it is today: a city of many faces, each bearing his or her unique tale of every day existence in China's capital.

Accompanied by journalist Diane Droin-Michaud, Ms. Martane travelled widely across China during 2007 recording these faces - smiling, sad, pensive and with mixed expressions. Also on display, the text of Diane Droin-Michaud echoes each image, ever deferential to the voice of the subject, allowing viewers to slip for an instant into the dreams and observations of each protagonist.
