'Straatnamen' combines admiration and commemoration.
Writing names across the street is part of the folklore of a cycle race, as a way for fans to cheer for their favourite. These words are written in a public space and thus can be read by everyone, but they are really meant for that one person, who will fly by in a split second.
These names also refer to traffic victims and are thus the sad chorus of a song of mourning, while the street has become an altar with stigmata of loss.
