Radio Poétique

This Little Radio Travels From Place To Place Playing Poetry

I remember a 90s television programme, where a small portable receiver was filmed out and about – the continuity announcer talking about songs and music and life – interspersed with obscure music videos from the far fringes of the music scene.
The idea of that aesthetic stuck in my head.

A radio, filmed in interesting locations, and the announcer talking about art and poetry and life, as if a radio programme was just on in the background and passers by and nature and the world go about their business around it.

Decades later this image finally took form as a creative video art project, with poems and essays.
Over a hundred poems are already recorded and the little radio has travelled internationally.
