After the Second World War, the German geologist Hermann Borchert (1905-1982) travelled crisscross through Turkey every year, always in search of economically interesting mineral resources. In the process, he often came across small ancient finds, which he collected.
Artist list

After his death, it turned out that the collection had no 'material' value, it was not for sale. After many years, the collection came into the hands of the master goldsmith Adelheid Helm, who thought about what to do with it. She decided to initiate a joint project with artisan friends in which everyone could think about whether they could come up with something to do with individual pieces.
Then the project Archaeoptermix was put on hold because Adelheid Helm fell seriously ill and finally died in October 2021. But even before her death, she won over the esteemed colleague Sarah Cossham, who completed the project in an expanded form. The result is this exhibition. In a variety of ways and without any restrictions, the jewellers and artists created something new from the found objects, a technique that already belongs to the classical canon of modern art (objet trouvé, securing traces, readymade, etc.).
