当参加“骤然的变异”艺术考察活动的艺术家12日聚齐成都，一场毫无征兆的地震灾难降临天府之国，骤然的变异让每个人从生理到心理都产生了巨大的反应。我们在余震随时发生的7楼住宿、讨论工作，有着无数次飞奔下楼的经历，面对自然界的力量，每个人感受到的是人类的弱不经风。
去往活动地域三峡库区的火车因抢运救灾物资停运，借助汽车辗转重庆终于到达活动的第一站万县，被人类改造后的长江展现在我们眼前，怪异的绿色江水，肉眼无法感知的流速，无论在万州还是巫山，只觉身处在一个巨大的水库之中，长江不再是一条奔腾不息、充满野性活力的大江。它被拦腰斩断，水位急剧上升到175米，众多的历史遗迹、古镇被淹没、上百万的人被迫离开世代生活的家园，人文记忆与千年历史印记深潜于50米水下，三峡水系的面貌被彻底改变，由此产生的自然生态问题和人文记忆的断裂是残酷的。
人类为了满足自己的欲望，竭尽全力使自然发生着骤然的变异，明天会怎样？谁来承受变异的恶果？是自然界？还是人类自己？是更远的将来？还是明天？

The earthquake on 12.5.08 came without warning in Sichuan Province. It shocked all the artists who had arrived in Chengdu to prepare for the inspection of “The Sudden Change” project in the Three Gorges Dam area. During the after-shocks we worked on the 7th floor of a building, and so many times we had to run down to the ground as a precaution. At the time I thought people were like small dust particles being swept away by nature.
Because the rail transport was giving priority for aid supplies the victims most affected by the earthquake, we had to travel by bus to Wanzhou. We arrived only to find another disaster. A destroyed river lay in front of us. The water is colored by pollution because the river does not flow as strong as once did. We were like sailors on such a big reservior in the section between Wanzhou and Wushan. The Yangzi river is not as beautiful as it was before. The river has been dammed and the waterlevel will rise to depth of 175M. More than 1 million residents have had to move to the other locations. And a range of historical remains and cultral sites have already been submerged. With this the ecological system of the Three Gorges has been destroyed.
If people only take care of their own development, this is a risk for our future. Nobody knows what will happen in time, who will be pumnished, nature? human beings? or the future?
