Statements by well-known and less well-known thinkers and artists are juxtaposed with messages, logos, book titles, film texts and spam. Beautiful World is a typographical film and only comprises text. The world is suffering from dulling, because virtually everything is linked to economic interests. But this dulling also has attractive sides: aesthetics, sensation and entertainment are important subjects in the growing leisure industry where experience seems to be a magic word.
