No, I'm sure the article said overexpose.  Remember that the first technique
that I mentioned is using slide film.  Overexposure will make the slide
lighter.  The resulting slide sandwich will be composed of two overexposed
slides, making the resulting sandwich close to a proper exposure, due to the
additional density each slide adds to the sandwich.  The
article said the photographer's slide sandwiches were actually somewhat
overexposed, but that this overexposure complemented the soft focus feel.

If you were using negative color film you would UNDEREXPOSE, the use of slide
film and its characteristics probably confused you?
