Sunday in Beijing is a photographic book featuring photographs by artist Michael Kenna. There is a set of window with colored papers to allow several levels of reading to these images, through several frames. On the one hand, the photograph is surrounded by a bright color contrasting with the black and white of the photograph and on the other, the image is directly reframed creating a book with several readings.  Through a play of gradation, the colored leaves change from imperial yellow to communist red.
