Experience body politics on the platform as the museum presents Maja Malou Lyse’s video work, Antibodies (2022), at Roskilde Station. The video combines humor, pop culture, and critical reflection on themes such as body politics, sexuality, pleasure, and self-representation—subjects Lyse has consistently explored throughout her artistic practice. The work unfolds through a series of layered video sequences, featuring a wide range of feminist literature, found clips from film and TV, Lyse as a model in a photoshoot, and the animated sex toy Satisfyer Pro. Antibodies stands firmly on the shoulders of cultural historians, feminist thinkers, artists, and activists, as Lyse openly invites both herself and the audience to engage with the complex questions and considerations surrounding the relationships between body, gender, identity, and image.

Antibodies is Maja Malou Lyse’s graduation project from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (2022) and was first presented at Afgang at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. The work is twofold: one part is a video piece, and the other is a magazine cover and article featuring a series of self-portraits created for the fashion magazine Eurowoman, which was published and sold between April 20 and May 20, 2022. In this way, the work extended beyond the traditional exhibition space, reaching audiences across the country during the same period. Copies of this edition of Eurowoman are also included in the exhibition, allowing visitors to experience both parts of the work together.
