Mark Morrisroe fue un artista visual y de performance que se valió principalmente de la Fotografía y que tuvo su importancia en el desarrollo de la escena punk de Boston. Hijo de una adicta y sobrino del asesino en serie conocido como "el estrangulador de Boston", comenzó a ganarse la vida de chapero siendo adolescente. Uno de sus clientes le disparó cuando tenía 17 años, lo que le dejó de por vida con una bala alojada en la espalda, algo que se reflejaría en parte de su creación. Estudió en la Escuela de Artes de Boston donde hizo amistad con otros artistas, entre ellos Nan Goldin. En su trabajo destaca el uso de la fotografía Polaroid, en la que solía servirse de los márgenes para escribir anotaciones, pero igualmente experimentó con la superposición de varias imágenes, radiografías, imágenes encontradas, pruebas en el laboratorio fotográfico o el uso de fotogramas fijos de películas en Super 8... Morrisroe falleció en 1989 por complicaciones asociadas con el SIDA.
