Lunch & Dinner: Constellation

Isciane, Lauren & Danielle Dallenbach (CH)

Constellation is an intergenerational and family project centered around cooking, in which the culinary artist Isciane, a.k.a. Isciyo, invites the women in her family to come together and create two meals during the course of one day. A nod to the family constellation, a method in systemic psychology that focuses on relationships and bonds within a system—in this case, a family—Constellation is a reflection on transmission and heritage. Combining the different practices of the women in a convivial and reassuring atmosphere centered around food, Constellation is the search for a common language among the women of the same lineage.

Isciane Dallenbach is a self-taught chef, an explorer of the plant world, and a foraging enthusiast in tune with the seasons. Through her cooking, she engages and unites, while adding an artistic dimension to her practice. Lauren Dallenbach, her older sister, is a vegetarian chef for whom cooking serves as her profession. Her main project involves observing the women in her family through the creation of a documentary film. The two sisters regularly collaborate, inviting each other and working together on various projects. Their work includes birthday buffets, weddings, festivals, and catering services. Their mother, Danielle Dallenbach, is a fast and efficient cook who is always available to lend a hand to her daughters. A skilled decorator, she has also ventured into crafting to support the project with ceramics as well as batik and shibori dyes. Their grandmother, Alberte, and their aunt, Nicole, are also invited to participate in this collaborative culinary project.
