French photographer and a videographer.

Samuel GRATACAP is a photographer and a videographer whose work falls within the field of both visual arts and photojournalism.
"Un Tipo Strano" (2021) is his first short film.

Born in 1982, in Pessac (France).

Samuel Gratacap is interested in the phenomena of migration and places of transit generated by contemporary conflicts. His projects are the result of long periods of immersion, a necessary period to understand the complexity of the situations and to reconstruct what, beyond numbers, flows, maps, geopolitical data and media news, constitutes their cores: trajectories and personal experiences. Samuel Gratacap's work, carried out over two years in Tunisia in the Choucha refugee camp (2012-2014), was the subject of an exhibition at the Bal (Paris) in 2015 and a publication by Editions Filigranes. That same year, his project "Les Naufragé(e)s" (Libya) was exhibited at the Institut du Monde Arabe (Paris) as part of the Biennial of Photographers of the Contemporary Arab World. In 2017, he exhibited "Fifty Fifty" as part of the Rencontres d'Arles, an exhibition on Libya being torn between war and the plight of migrants. In 2019 and 2020, he was a resident at the Villa Medici, in Rome.
