Turning Junk Into A Cathedral Is One Austin Man’s Mission [Video]
Vince Hannemann, otherwise known as the Junk King, has had a mission of taking the things that we throw away into a cathedral type art installation.
The dream began back in 1989; and after being sidelined by the city of Austin for not having the right building permits for his “auxiliary structure but which he final did get after having to remove 60 tons of material, continues today with the help of volunteers.
The video which was shot by Evan Burns and provides us with a glimpse into the cathedral of junk and the man behind it.
