Ulysses Castellanos
Performance Art
Inspired by both The Yorkville Diaries, a chronicle of Yorkville life in the 60s-70s, and the lack Sabbath Song, Into the Void, Ulysses Castellanos playfully embodies "the ghost of Yorkville past" who lives in a grotto of heavy metal glamour: unravelled cassette tape, basement strobe lights, smoke and mirrors et al. Through a 12-hour performance, the artist employs humour and parody to dig beneath the current shiny veneer exploring Yorkville's dark, brutal primeval history.
