The Final Wife

The Final Wife is a multimedia installation loosely based on the 1993 Waco Siege of a compound belonging to the Branch Davidians, a religious sect in Waco, Texas. This ongoing project offers fictionalized representations of Branch Davidians leader David Koresh that include negotiations with the FBI, passages from The Book of Revelation and the Old Testament, and fantasies between Koresh and then U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno. Giordano performs as David, the FBI agent, and Julianna Schley potrays Janet Reno.
