THE JUNK KING

Junk

Vince Hannemann has been collecting trash in Austin, Texas since he was 16-years-old. The result of his found-object installation is the Cathedral of Junk--an enormous compound of gadgets, items, signs and all sorts of trinkets from yesteryear. At one point there was so much stuff that the city of Austin deemed it dangerous and unsafe and a huge part of the structure was eradicated. Thankfully, thanks to some local support It didn't stop The Junk King. Check out his inspiring story.
