Golden Monkey is an inflatable public artwork by Australian artist and ecologist Lisa Roet, displayed on Lazada One in Singapore. The sculpture depicts the distinctive snub-nosed monkey. Its upturned nose and long tail connect the urban installation with a primate found in the mountains of China and Myanmar. The sculpture rises fourteen metres above the ground. Roet’s practice focuses on primates, using their presence to raise questions about deforestation, biodiversity loss, climate change, and urbanisation. Lazada One provides its architectural setting in Singapore. The building’s association with sustainable practices complements an artwork concerned with how cities affect ecosystems and wildlife. Local teams and Lasalle College of the Arts supported the project. The installation belongs to a wider series that has appeared in Hong Kong, Edinburgh, and Melbourne, linking Singapore to Roet’s international work. It turns a building exterior into a wildlife encounter. Golden Monkey brings a familiar primate form into a dense cityscape, inviting attention to the relationship between people, nature, and changing habitats. The piece stands as an example of environmental art.
