The exhibition, My African Letters, is based on an email that Ditte Ejlerskov received from a lawyer, Amadi Omorose Azagba, from Benin in Africa on April 9, 2011. Azagba writes that he for some time has been trying to get hold of Ditte Ejlerskov, since his client, Gabriel Ejlerskov, died a tragically death some years back and the lawyer must now pass on a part of his inheritance to an Ejlerskov relative.
This correspondence between the lawyer Azagba and Ditte Ejlerskov, the latter insisting in her emails on getting more details about the deceased Gabriel Ejlerskov, form the basis for the exhibition paintings.
