Coming Soon appropriates 218 intertitles of movie trailers, from the 1930s until 2019. The intertitles are juxtaposed and edited chronologically, in order to keep only the information "coming soon". In about 10 minutes, a wait is created by repeating this cinematic expression, in which it is not known exactly what is being expected - if it is something external to the video or if it is an event in itself. Something is always coming; it never comes and/or it has already arrived.
