The monument appeared as the artwork of American and New Zealand rock band Unknown Mortal Orchestra's debut self-titled album.
The monument also featured on the front sleeve of British synth-pop band Emile's Telegraphic Transmission Device's second studio album "Ambivalence in Motion". The lead singer Daniel Ian Williams had taken inspiration to use it on the sleeve art after a visit to Gateshead's Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, where it was on display during an exhibition entitled David Maljković: Sources in the Air during 15 March until 7 July in 2013.
The monument was featured in the New York's Museum of Modern Art exhibition exploring the architecture of the former Yugoslavia, "Toward a Concrete Utopia: Architecture in Yugoslavia, 1948–1980," and it is considered at length in the accompanying volume of the same name.The monument was used as a setting in season one of Tribes of Europa, a German sci-fi television series produced by Wiedemann & Berg Film Production.  The series was released in 2021. The deteriorating state of the monument contributes to the futuristic dystopian style of the series.
