Abstract
During fieldwork among the Karawari-speaking people of Papua New Guinea, I used a variety of audiovisual devices to explore people's sociocultural perception and expression. Numerous public screenings of documentary and feature films were organized. In this way the ethnographic research has become an exchange of sensory experiences between one world, characterized by an abundance of new audiovisual technology, and the other by its virtual absence. These new audiovisual media assumed a mediating role between the living and the dead. The latter were closely associated with the world and wealth of "White people."
