‘there goes ma head’

Ivana Bobic directs a love letter to underground culture, with Nia Archives' "There Goes Ma Head" diving into the hazy final moments of a night out. Where the dancefloor has emptied and only the last ravers remain.

Shot on iPhone entirely in stark black and white, Nia performs the track within a cyclical narrative that grows increasingly surreal with every repetition.
