Have you ever entered a space and you felt isolated from this world? As if you just moved into a new dimension? That is the feeling you would get if you enter this church in Neviges, West Germany. It was designed by Pritzker Prize winning architect Gottfried Böhm. Construction began in 1963, and the church was consecrated in 1968. Since then it stands there as a symbol of a religion but at the same time as a fine masterpiece of the brutal architecture of the 60's era. The architect Gottfried Böhm, born in Offenbach am Main in 1920, has immortalized himself as an important representative of the post-war architecture. He became famous for sculptural buildings made out of concrete, steel and glass. Gottfried Böhm with his father and his sons forms a symbol of a fine architecture house that has been there for three generations. With 6,000 seats the Neviges pilgrimage dome is one of the largest churches in Germany. The central building looks like a tent from the outside.
Tamboly received his Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences in “Advertising, Printing & Publishing, the light photography section” in 2001, and a YAT diploma in graphic design in 2003. After graduation he began working as an event photographer for festivals, art projects, and events in Zürich, Switzerland. Tamboly held his first solo exhibition, “Motion and Silence,” at the Photo Cairo Festival in 2003. Later that year he received the “Certificate of vocational Achievements” from Al Mamoun International University in Damascus, Syria, for his achievements in photography.
Since 2002 Tamboly has been active in the art scene in Europe and worldwide, as he participated in different contests, solo and group exhibitions, salons and festivals. He enjoyed both working as a solo artist and cooperating with other artistsin group projects. His recent solo exhibitions include one titled “Timeless” in Leipzig in 2009, “Egypt-Faces” at the Academy of Arts in Berlin and the House of the World Cultures in 2011, and “Parallel Dimension” in Riogrande, Berlin in 2014.
Tamboly has also been actively collaborating with artists from other fields, such as fashion designers and musicians like the Beatsteaks, Papa Roach, Kreator, The Bones and more.
Since 2002 Tamboly participated in numerous contests, group exhibitions, salons, festivals and biennales around the globe and co-operates and work with various artists, fashion designers, ventures and organisations in Europe and worldwide.
In challenging the sharp division between art and design, Tamboly is devoted to bridging the gap between the two, especially, to exploring the potential utility of an artwork. With his photography.
