First published at Atticus Review in 2021, Ten Bag of Albion is by Charles Putschkin, a Swedish-Polish artist living in Bristol, UK, and Richard Capener, also in Bristol.

The video seems like an interwoven collaboration with each artist contributing writing and film decisions. The text is deconstructed into snatches of phrases and words within an audio mix of interesting sound textures and treatments. This is experimental film-making with text, abstraction and unexpected rhythms in the editing.

I previously shared Putschkin’s Disorderlily, a finalist in the Ó Bhéal Poetry-Film Competition in Ireland.

Disorderlily is an author-made videopoem by Charles Putschkin, a Swedish-Polish artist living in Bristol, UK.

The piece is written in the form of a letter from a socially isolated man, to a woman who seems to be his support worker. The literal quality of the text and the deadpan vocal delivery are effective and affecting, conveying more than what is said.

Putschkin’s creative work also includes visual poetry, sound poetry and podcasting, all with an experimental bent. More videos from him can be found at his YouTube channel.

Disorderlily was a finalist in the 2021 Ó Bhéal Poetry-Film Competition in Cork Ireland.
