Our weekly round-up of outstanding content uploaded onto EyeEm, each volume of The Week on EyeEm is unique - echoing certain details, social narratives, and creative techniques shaping our world. This week we are bringing you a thought-provoking curation and commentary from our editor, Fabian Plock.

We all are constantly interpreting the world around us, trying to make sense of the things we see and and experience, trying to empathize and grasp what others think and feel. But ultimately we are all living in our own reality. There is a permanent divide between those realities but it can also be a thing of beauty.

It’s what I love most about photograhpy. Whether carefully staged or spontaneous, conceptual or loud, every photographer views the world through his own unique lens, communicating his own story and leaving it to us to interpret it again within the bounds of our own reality.

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”

– Albert Einstein
