Michèle Pearson Clarke (born February 16, 1973) is a Trinidadian filmmaker and photographer based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
[4] In 2016, she was commissioned by The Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Ontario, to create a two-channel video installation called "I’m Thinking of Ending Things."
[5] Clarke's video work "Suck Teeth Compositions (After Rashaad Newsome)" was included in Here We Are Here: Black Canadian Contemporary Art, an exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum in 2018.
[9] Clarke's 2018 exhibition in Toronto, A Welcome Weight on My Body, explored film in photographic form, focusing on creating analog still images of Caribbean Canadian friends and family, whom she found missing or exploited in the genre historically.
The scrapbook-like installation of photographs hung in composition of groups on shelves, floor, in wood or metal frames complicated the presentation, in an attempt to pull them away from a minimalist, colder conceptual tradition.
