Synopsis
Inside the Patina V Mannequin Factory in City of Industry, California, artisans craft plastic figures that embody the "ideal woman of the moment." Jesse Epstein's 2008 film, 34 x 25 x 36, captures the intricate artistry and marketing behind these mannequins. The factory owner candidly states, "There are no perfect bodies out there. We make the perfect body." The chief designer reflects on the history of his craft, drawing connections to 19th-century French wax figures and medieval religious icons.
