High Performance
Packing Tape
Inventive and
risk-taking.
— REALTIME

With every project we risk things blowing up
in our faces. For Branch Nebula, that’s just
the beginning.
High Performance Packing Tape is the
OH&S nightmare that transforms everyday
stationery and office consumables into
the infrastructure of one person’s physical
ruin. Performer Lee Wilson scales collapsing
towers, hangs precariously from bridges
unable to carry his weight and asks more of
cheap materials than they’re ever able to give.
Pivoting deftly between visceral terror
and the ridiculous, this masterclass in
contemporary performance needles at our
desire for self-preservation and material
wellbeing with a series of scenarios that each
ratchet up the tension another notch. The
sterile language of workplace safety, risk
assessment and best practice is thrown to
the wind, and though the suspense might
be killing you, it’s Wilson’s neck that’s on
the line.
