Summary/Abstract: Before embarking on that ambivalent meaning that presents the mask as a variant of the idea of the other, of the double, it was part of the ritual-sacred existence of the first human societies. The current social situation, the extreme living conditions, once again gave the mask a chance – to take on a new role and perform new functions. The text examines both the historical variability of the meanings of the mask and its presence in the life of modern man as a barrier and shield for human life, but also an isolating component, behind which the person falls into unnatural isolation and even more unnatural loneliness.
