Tim Brennan’s latest work, English Anxieties, is the result of a commission by Photoworks and Ffotogallery, Cardiff, in association with the European Centre for Photographic Research at the University of Wales, Newport about the Mass Observation Archive (MO) at the University of Sussex. For the last year Brennan has sifted through a myriad of archive boxes and folders, consisting of handwritten and typed reports, drawings and printed ephemera, originally gathered to provide some insight into the social worlds that Mass Observation attempted to analyse from its inception in 1937.
