HORNBACH- Smashing the Cliches (2017) :445 (Germany)

HORNBACH- Smashing the Cliches (2017) :445 (Germany)

This ad is like a manifesto against female roles and stereotypes. A woman takes a hammer to a brick wall and instead of taking down "just a wall", she's smashing statues of strippers, stereotypical pink princess girls, and boss men standing on the head of a woman. 

The motto: "We never said it would be easy“. 


 

The opening shot is more than a little reminiscent of "Apple 1984", but I suppose that hammer held by a woman will always evoke that.
