We show that the torsion in the group of indecomposable $(2,1)$-cycles on a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field is isomorphic to a twist of its Brauer group, away from the characteristic. In particular, this group is infinite as soon as $b_{2}-{\it\rho}>0$. We derive a new insight into Roǐtman’s theorem on torsion $0$-cycles over a surface.
