History

Anna and Alexandra Długołęcka - founders of Absolut Dimension in 2004, Matopos Zimbabwe

Where it all began .

 

"Throw it away

Throw everything away.
And start — NAKED"

quote from Anna Długołęcka's book "... beyond the limits of limitations..."

 

Absolut Dimension was born from a multi-generational presence of

Art . Creation . Movement .

we grew up in a world
where form was the natural language of expressing emotions
and creation —
a way of experiencing life

The women in our family created:
textiles
clothes
paintings

spaces
and scenes

Men carved forms from wood
built
constructed
and gave matter shape

from generation to generation, not only the ability to create was passed on —
but a way of looking at the world

Opera
Theater
Craftsmanship
Travel
Applied Arts
became the natural foundation of our aesthetic language

 

The turning point was Africa:

it was there
among space
light
and freedom of movement
that the first conscious forms of Absolut Dimension were born:

"... beyond the limits of limitations..." a show of Anna Długołęcka's original collection on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of South Africa's Independence, Mariott Warsaw 2004.

 

it was there in Africa that we understood
that clothing can be more than fashion...
