'Vibrating Horizon' offers us a view of the sea on a grey day. The horizon in the middle divides the image into two equal fields, the sea and the sky. The quietly rolling waves create an almost meditative atmosphere, until the horizon suddenly takes on a life of its own. The camera shakes on its tripod, as though affected by an earthquake, so that the dividing line between the sea and sky is constantly moving. This camera movement causes the sea and waves to lose their spatiality. The two fields become increasingly abstract, and as a result of the pulsing horizon it seems as if they are attempting to push each other out of the frame.

"In his first venture into serious ballet, Pat Rocco presents Brian Reynolds in a soul-searching story of birth, life, and love. With exceptionally beautiful choreography by Lynn MacMurrey, we see Brian "being born" in an array of multi-colored patterns, finally bursting forth into life by discovering himself alone on top of a mountain. Upon seeing himself for the first time in a clear mountain pool, he becomes keenly aware of his loneliness and ventures forth in search of love. Dancing nude up and down streets, he finally comes upon Erik Carlson. Immediately the scene changes to an all black background as the two perform a pas de deux of love and lovemaking that must be seen to be truly appreciated. This is the first known nude ballet performed by two males that has ever been presented on the screen - and it promises to be one of the most successful films to ever come from Pat Rocco's Bizarre Productions."

Things (and their treatment) are shown repeatedly - a loaf of bread, a sausage, an egg cracked open on the rim of a cup: everyday actions with irreversible, one might say vitally destructive consequences. In the second part, the actions are directed at people, and the anxiety changes because the situations are created deliberately and uncritically. Part three, which could be read as a sober protocol of a relationship, loses the proximity to actionism and performance. Images of a man and a woman alternate with images of windows, mirrors, sofas, and the interior.
