In 2021, as the world slowly emerged from pandemic lockdown, perhaps the biggest cultural phenomena to rise from the ashes of COVID-19 was the craze for digitally animated projected light shows based on masterpieces by art-historical greats such as Frida KahloGustav KlimtClaude Monet, and, of course, Vincent van Gogh.

Now, Lighthouse Immersive Inc., the Toronto-based company behind the best-known exhibition in the genre—“Immersive Van Gogh,” from the same director who did the one famously featured in Emily in Paris—has filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in Delaware, Bloomberg reports. The July 28 filing is a strategy to protect the company’s U.S. assets during insolvency proceedings in Ontario.
