What Has Left Since We Left, published by Onomatopee with graphic design by Studio Temp, is the volume accompanying Giulio Squillacciotti’s film of the same name and investigates the imaginary end of Europe using a language linked to the idea of love and separation. Comparing the political ties that unite European countries to affective and emotional fluctuations, the project examines the complexity of European relationships by analyzing the categories of identity, collapse, migration, conflict, and hope. The book features contributions by Ayşe Zarakol, Marwan Moujaes, Federico Lodoli, Marina Lalovic, and Erica Petrillo, who complete and expand the screenplay of the film What Has Left Since We Left — directed by Giulio Squillacciotti and written with Daan Milius and Huib Haye van der Werf — which romanticizes the current European dystopia. Behind-the-scenes images and stills from the production, along with a European timeline from World War II to Brexit compiled by Enrico De Gasperis, provide a detailed overview of the entire project.
