It's called Formalism. My work has been labeled that, and in a way I think your work falls into that category as well.. as demeaning as it sounds. I know I was offended at first, because I always shoot with a context-concept in mind, but I guess when it comes down to it; it is pretty much about the form in the end, and not the content: unless it's explained another way.
