Career
The son of an Argentine psychiatrist and a German curator grew up in Buenos Aires and worked as a chauffeur, tour guide, broker, still photographer and journalist, before he first emerged as a gay activist in the early 1990s, in order to make a name for himself in the series of fictional literature (stories , Short stories). In 1993 he moved to Germany.

In 1995 his gay lexicon was published, the first work of its kind in German. In his band And that's a good thing! He then focused on how celebrities deal with the issue of homosexuality in culture, politics, sport and religion. His novel Among Men about the vacation behavior of gay tourists using the example of Gran Canaria from 2009 "enjoys cult status in the gay scene". A sequel was published in 2019 under the title "Winter Pride".
As a visual artist, Castro first created maps and city plans on which he documented the legacy of his personal traces around the world in order to make them public “in a kind of advance cooperation with potential investigators”. Following on from this, Castro dealt with genetic codes, which he brought into circulation in the form of scent marks of himself as perfumes ( SeCaOne ).
