The gradation of light in the transferred b/w space, now soft, no longer seems to stand in opposition to those in the prologue or the logos. Tarkovsky's cinema has by now prepared us for a space-time transference; characters from different time and space now meet within the b/w space which does not necessarily continue from a coloured one, nor flow back into it again. Suddenly, this highly unusual space-time displacement does not have the strangeness of hypnosis. With Krivin walking into light in his feverish inspiration, the horizontal axis comes back into play, even on the spaceship. For the first time, one sees leaves sprouting from a small carpet of earth contained in a lunch box, even as his fellow-scientist tells him that time has come for him to return to earth.
