Urša Rahne (1996) is a multimedia artist who currently lives, studies and works in Ljubljana. She is interested in the field of documentary and artistic photography as well as video art and film. She draws inspiration from the environment in which she lives and works, as she connects it with the social and political problems of contemporary society.
She has held solo exhibitions at the Garaža cultural centre (Belgrade, 2017), the DobraVaga gallery (2021) and the Pešak gallery (2021). She has also participated in group exhibitions at Dorćol Platz (Belgrade), the Lighting Guerrilla festival and many others with the Podmladek art collective, of which she has been a member since 2019. Since that year, she is also a founding member of the Kvadratni Meter collective, with which she addresses housing and spatial issues. With the collective, she has participated in exhibitions at the Cirkulacija2, Alkatraz and Aksioma galleries and was published in Likovne Besede and ETC Magazine.
“A Strange Car in My Neighborhood” is a series of zines featuring screenshots of images of dogs found in street view on Google Maps. The author collects images of dogs in different cities (Ljubljana, Belgrade) and wonders why artificial intelligence only recognizes and censors human faces, but not animal faces. The “Google” car seems to be particularly interesting to the dogs, as they mostly look directly at the camera. The captured dog faces on Google Maps are thus the only document of a facial reaction to the intrusion of this type of modern technology into the environment.
